I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop with an onboard TrueMobile 1300
(Broadcom, b/g chipset) and a Netgear WAG511 cardbus card (Atheros, a/b/g
chipset).
I have a Netgear FWAG114 firewall/access point. (Atheros based, does a, b
and g.)
I'm running FreeBSD-current from Friday, March 19th. Both cards talk to
the access point under FreeBSD when I'm not running WEP, and neither card
works with WEP enabled. (i.e., neither card will associate with the base
station with WEP enabled.)
I have tried putting the key in as both hex digits and as the passphrase I
used on the router to generate the hex key. (The router claims it's a 128
bit key, but it only generates 26 hex digits, so it's really a 104 bit key
I suppose.)
Both cards work under Windows with WEP, with either the hex key or the
passphrase entered.
I have attached ifconfig and wicontrol output from both cards, and dmesg
output from the laptop.
To enable the adapter, I've been doing things like this:
ifconfig {ath0|ndis0} ssid [my ssid] wepmode on wepkey `cat wepkey`
(where wepkey is a file with the 26 digit hex key, starting with 0x)
For what it's worth, I've tried setting the authmode to shared (instead of
"open"), but all I get is the following:
ifconfig ath0 authmode shared
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
The ath driver spits out the following diagnostics when I try to associate
with either the a or g part of the base station with WEP on:
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:0d:f9
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:0d:f9
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:0d:f9
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:0d:f9
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:2c:5c
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:2c:5c
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:2c:5c
ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:09:5b:66:2c:5c
(The first mac address is the a base station, the second is the g base
station.)
The ndis driver (I'm using the Dell/Broadcom Windows drivers for the
onboard chip) doesn't give any error messages, but doesn't associate
either.
If anyone has any clues on how to get this to work, I'd love to hear them.
(Or if you have a similar setup and have managed to get it to work with
WEP, that would be useful to know.)
Thanks,
Ken
