In order to match 'weptxkey 1' below you want to specify wep_key0 and wep_tx_keyidx=0 in your wpa_supplicant.conf. Following wpa_supplicant.conf works here quite well: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="MySsId" scan_ssid=1 priority=5 key_mgmt=NONE wep_key0=11111111111111111111111111 wep_tx_keyidx=0 } with proper SSID and key. > felipa# wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf > Trying to associate with 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 (SSID='WEBTENT' freq=2437 > MHz) > Associated with 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 > ^CSignal 2 received - terminating > ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 20, len 7]: Can't assign requested address > > If I use the following, all works great with WEP and it gets a DHCP > address even though I specified a static IP, I assume this is because I > have that specified in /etc/rc.conf: > > felipa# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid > WEBTENT wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1: > felipa# ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: > flags=8843 mtu 1500 > inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe1f:9655%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 > inet 192.168.1.52 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 > ether 00:80:c8:1f:96:55 > media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) > status: associated > ssid WEBTENT channel 6 (2437) bssid 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 > authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 > wepkey 1:104-bit powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax > 32 > txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode > CTS -wme roaming AUTO bintval 100 > > Also, I assume my D-Link access point does not support WPA, so I am > stuck with the weakness of WEP?
