You will also need to specify the wep key. A good way of turning on wep and specifiying the key is: ifconfig fwe0 nwkey 0x999999999999 Using, of course, your wep key and and the correct iface. Tamas is right that it seems weird that you would be using a firewire nic. It is possible though, so just make sure you are using the right one. -wtgee On Sun, 19 Dec 2004 15:45:08 +0100, Tamas MEZEI <tamas@bazmag.hu> wrote: > > ifconfig fwe0 wep > > This should be a firewire device.
