[lwlan-user] WEP encryption not working on a Netgear MA401RA card

[Richard Compton]

I posted this a couple of days ago and I'm still
pounding my head looking for a solution :)

I'd be more than happy to provide any other additional
info.

-Thanks in advance

BTW, I have the rpm of 0.1.15-6

Everything works fine if I disable encryption but when
I enable encryption, it doesn't seem to work.

I run 'iwconfig wlan0' and I don't see encryption
enabled and I can't associate to the AP:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11-b  ESSID:"lab"  Nickname:"lab"
          Mode:Auto  Frequency:2.422GHz  Access Point:
00:00:00:00:00:00
          Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power:2346 dBm
          Retry min limit:8   RTS thr:off   Fragment
thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Link Quality:0/92  Signal level:-69 dBm 
Noise level:-90 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx
invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0  
Missed beacon:0

Please cc me on any responses!  Thanks in advance!


Here's a sample of my wlan-ng.opts file:


        lnxreq_hostWEPEncrypt=true   # true|false
        lnxreq_hostWEPDecrypt=true     # true|false
        dot11PrivacyInvoked=true        # true|false
        dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0          # 0|1|2|3
        dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true    # true|false,
in AP this means WEP
                                        #  is required
