FreeBSD aklemm.klemm.apsfilter.org 6.0-BETA5 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 #3: Tue Oct 4 06:55:14 CEST 2005 >Description: Since Oct 3rd I cannot get my WLAN (ndis) to work. I assume its because the weptxkey cannot be set anymore. Am getting error message: + ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!! The day before I was able to get my WLAN card working in DELL D610 Laptop with the following statement: ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on weptxkey 2 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx channel 11 \ authmode shared ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >How-To-Repeat: ifconfig ndis0 down ifconfig ndis0 up ifconfig ndis0 authmode shared ifconfig ndis0 bssid any ifconfig ndis0 channel any ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on ifconfig ndis0 weptxkey 2 ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!! ifconfig ndis0 ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ifconfig ndis0 172.16.2.10/24 console messages: ndis0: failed to get bssid ifconfig ndis0: ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20b:7dff:fe15:605e%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 172.16.2.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.2.255 ether 00:0b:7d:15:60:5e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps) status: associated ssid "" channel 1 authmode SHARED privacy ON deftxkey 2 powersavemode CAM powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 100 protmode CTS root@aklemm[ttyp5]{207} ~/bin ifconfig ndis0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS xxxxxxxx 00:04:0e:1c:4c:90 1 54M 116:0 200 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 00:11:09:0c:17:e3 11 54M 166:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? WPA ??? Created ndis driver newly using ndisgen, to be sure, that the driver is well. No change. Another strange thing, the day before when wlan was still working: ifconfig ndis0 still showed channel 1. Although I configured the card to use channel 11. My Access Point is definitively set to channel 11. >Fix: no fix >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
