Re: WUSB11 ver 2.5 (Prism2), debian, and wlan.agent

Hey you,

I am not an expert so what I tell you might be totally wrong :). Anyway. With my debian all the scripts and configuration files didn't work. So I remove the wlan.agent script and wrote my own script which looks like this for adhoc for example:

#!/bin/bash
rmmod prism2_usb
modprobe prism2_usb
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=p2CnfRoamingMode=1
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=00:00:00:00:00
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid="FMI" authtype=sharedkey

after it ifconfig or dhclient will work for dhcp or static ip.

And it works. Without this it didn't seem to work for me.
Try the same, maybe it will work. There can be another better solution and I would be happy to know it as well ;)
I hope it helps
Cheers

Michele
