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
sry. should have said was for the applet.
