Re: [hardy] networkmanager and WEP

Hi,

I'm also having trouble connecting to a unprotected network using NM,
atheros chip.


dmesg|grep wifi
[ 40.724167] hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
[ 40.724173] wifi0: Original COR value: 0x0
[ 40.926625] wifi0: NIC: id=0x8013 v1.0.0

[ 40.943135] wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.3.5
[ 40.947499] wifi0: defaulting to bogus WDS frame as a workaround

[ 40.949593] wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0

[ 48.027940] wifi0: LinkStatus=1 (Connected)
[ 48.028251] wifi0: LinkStatus: BSSID=00:18:39:a5:90:3a

It seems to be dying on the DHCP, or at least the churn for DHCP?

lspci -v
04:03.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan
chipset (rev 01)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 23
Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
Capabilities: <access denied>


does anyone have any ideas?

cheers
L.

I am sure I tried that. But I was always filling in a passphrase on
the "WEP 128-bit Passphrase", and this key (generated from the
passphrase on the router interface) on the "WEP 64/128-bit Hex".

What are you filling in in the Hex key field? An actual key you got
from a phrase when configuring the router, or your actual passphrase?

Kind regards,
