List,
Hello all. Alright, this is a bit of a generic linux question. I've
got a WEP encrypted router at home which I want to use as the gateway to
the internet for my iBook.
I'm using a Linksys WUSB12 dongle with the Prism2 chipset in it and
wlan-ng drivers (version pre25).
When I try to bring the wlan0 interface up using "ifup wlan0" I get
several messages noting that certain functions are not supported. Most
notably the error Set Encode: Operation Not Supported shows up.
If I run "iwconfig wlan0 key 64Bit-HEXKEY" the same Set Encode error
shows up. The output of iwconfig shows Encryption Key: off.
How can I get the card to use WEP encryption? The key is in ifcfg-wlan0
(the config file ifup uses to set up the card, i believe).
I get the same Operation Not Supported errors for Set ESSID and Set
Frequency.
What do you think? How can I set the WEP key?
Thanks for you help!
