The key entry in keys-wlan0 should be like KEY='the_entire_key_here'
the key must be exactly as displayed in the AP
with no abcd-efgh- type
structure. It is case sensitive and must be the
exact number of
characters (yes, the - is a character). I use
copy/paste with my web
browser interface to the AP to capture it and put
it into the
configuration file for the adapter.
At this point I don't know what to say. I know I'm doing this correctly. -My key in my AP's configuration has 26 characters. -It will only allow me to use upper case. -I've directly copied and pasted the key. -FC4's network applet will also only use upper case. -entered with 0x in front -FC4's network applet correctly updates keys-wlan0. -file has KEY=[the key] WITHOUT the 0x -My router id a DLink DI624
Is there any type of ndiswrapper debugging that can be turned on? I know the key works since I have a windows machine connected using the same key. I've also tried changing the key to something else.
I've been there before myself: non-wep worked, wep didn't. Completely understand.
It's works great without encryption, and even though wep kind of sucks, it's at least not wide open. Sorry to those of you that are helping but getting frustrated. I'm right there with you.
Thanks, James
Just to check this off the list... did non-wep work with the mac filter on? If the mac filter on when trying to connect with wep?
Did you get rid of the wifi0 device/connection?
When I was at the same point, I set all the settings using the applet. made sure all net connections where disconnected. and checked iwconfig wlan0 to make sure the settings had been saved by the applet. then rebooted without any connection auto connecting.
I then opened the net applet and used the connect button to get a wep connection to my AP. eventually I got it, even with the default 4k kernel.
start elminating things you know are fine... you know that:
-ndiswrapper is installed and working cause non-wep works -you have the right windows driver cause non-wep works -the 16k kernel is working cause non-wep works -static ip works cause... -?
