one thing I forget about WEP is putting the "0x" before the hex string. did you do that for wep connection?
When I tried that I got an error that said: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : invalid argument "0x[my key was here]".
I also tried creating a keys-wlan0 file under: /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices
The only thing in the file was: KEY=0x[my key here]
That didn't seem to work either. Can anyone elaborate on the keys-wlan0 file? I'll do some googling.
You CANNOT use the 0x there. the file should contain a line KEY='my_key_here' with the exact displayed value from the AP in the field above. IIRC the 128 bit key is something like 28 hex characters, but does not contain spaces, - signs, etc. Copy and paste from the displayed value in the AP and it should work
It does for me, with my linksys AP.
Thanks, James
