Hi, Having a problem getting my 3Com XJack card (3CRWE62092A) to associate with my SMC access point (SMC2755W) with 128-bit WEP encryption. I have read through the NWN driver documentation and most of the Wireless HOWTOs available on the web to no avail.
I can get the card to work using Windows 2000 (had to upgrade the firmware to get 128-bit WEP to work). I am using poldhu_cs version 0.2.13 with kernel 2.4.20 (built by me), wireless extensions v15, and wireless tools v25. I see some weird output from iwlist [if] key -- it appears that the right encryption key is not being selected: I get "Current Transmit Key: [0]" instead of the expected "Current Transmit Key: [1]" (I ran iwlist on another device -- Sharp Zaurus -- and saw that output). Is this expected or could this be the problem? I have enclosed some output which may be useful in case anyone can help...
