I thought I sent this, but I don't see it in my out box, nor have I seen it come back in. Apologies if this is a resend. This improved matters a great deal for me, but I'm still unable to associate with a wep protected network (128-bit key), though it works like a charm for unprotected nets. I used the same ifconfig parameters on the iwi NIC that work for a Cisco 350 cardbus card on the protected network, but it fails to associate. The debug output enabled by the sysctls indicates that the iwi hears a lot of stations announce themselves, but none get associated. As I say, the Cisco card on the same machine associates properly (the cisco's an 11b, but the iwi fails on 11b or 11g. I associated successfully with an unlocked network in 11b mode with the iwi, so I think that's working). The params are: wepmode on wepkey "13-char-string" weptxkey 1. That's after a separate ifconfig setting the mode above. Any words of wisdom? Should I specify the key differently to the iwi (though ifconfig reports the value I expect)? Can I give you more info? -- Ted Faber http://www.isi.edu/~faber PGP: http://www.isi.edu/~faber/pubkeys.asc Unexpected attachment on this mail?
