Re: BenQ AWL400 - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

Hi,

In the meantime I updated my config

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

DEVICE=wlan0
IPADDR=192.168.0.104
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
USERCTL=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=FLYNET
CHANNEL=6
MODE=Managed
RATE=Auto
ENC=FF45-EA90-E73C-6CB0-4CB7-9FF6-EF
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1

All settings get set at boottime,
but the value of the encryption key seems to be wrong,
when I run iwconfig just after boot I get a enc= value which
only contains numbers, and is therefore not correct, so I cannot connect

by simply running
iwconfig  enc FF45-EA90-E73C-6CB0-4CB7-9FF6-EF

It works, so what should I put in the config file instead ???
Why does it convert it to another number which doesn't work ?

Thnx
