[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello eveybody, I have a Netgear MA-401 that I have been unable to get woring under FreeBSD. The card works fine under Windows 2000. The card works great in FreeBSD without WEP. When I enable WEP I lose my connection. I have scoured the archives, which resulted in: update to a recent -STABLE (8/27/01), addition of a flag to pccard.conf to allow "Prism2 mode" for my card (which fixed an issue with wicontrol reporting WEP off even though ifconfig said it was on), and not much else. Here is some info about my current setup: - The card works with WEP disabled - My WEP key is entered in hex - I am trying to attach to a Netgear MA-102 Access Point which only supports 40 bit hex keys - wicontrol looks like it is doing everything properly (correct keys, ssid, etc.) - ifconfig looks OK too, except "authmode" is NONE and I cannot change it to anything else I don't have wicontrol output with WEP on, but I will provide it if it will help... Cheers, Ian [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=089091922-30082001>Hello eveybody,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=089091922-30082001></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=089091922-30082001>I have a Netgear MA-401 that I have been unable to get woring under FreeBSD.
