Everything is fine if I turn off WEP. But with WEP enabled I get the dreaded "authentication failed (reason 13)" message. I hope, BTW, that the error message one gets if one simply uses the wrong password is more informative? In any case, I checked the password 2^n times, and feel pretty confident that I have it right. The command I used to configure the interface is ifconfig ath0 inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xff000000 \ ssid foonet mode 11g wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 debug and the dmesg output ends with (after various sending probe_req, received beacon & probe_resp) ath0: macaddr bssid chan rssi rate flag wep essid + 00:03:93:ef:24:f9 00:03:93:ef:24:f9 10 50 54M ess wep "foonet" ath0: sending auth to 00:03:93:ef:24:f9 on channel 10 ath0: received auth from 00:03:93:ef:24:f9 rssi 48 ath0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:03:93:ef:24:f9 What I would like to know is, am I doing anything obviously wrong? Or are there known issues (perhaps with workarounds) for this setup? I thought I'd ask if anybody can suggest something off the top of their head before I deluge the list with tons of debug messages. (I know about sysctl debug.ieee80211=1 and tcpdump -e -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11, but haven't tried them yet.) - Harald PS. No need to inform me that 40 bit WEP is just a joke. I am only doing it while debugging my problem.
