Re: driveloader and WEP - unable to connect with ENCRYPTION (e.g. WEP) on

Hi,

in the dump you sent to [email protected], I do not see any obvious =

problems. The installer Windows driver does support WPA, WPA2, AES, =

TKIP, WEP128 and WEP64, so 64 and 128 bits WEP keys should be supported.

With WEP keys there are things to be aware of. First of all, they come =

in 2 formats, hex and ASCII ones so make sure that both the access point =

and the configuration tool use the same format. You could also try with =

different security mode settings, i.e. open, restricted, etc...

You should also try to connect to the access point using another device =

or operating system just to make sure that the access point is correctly =

configured. How do you input the WEP key under Linux?
