Hi, its good that after complaining i found the issue myself. It's now working without a flaw.
If anybody is interestet: The openwrt uses "shared key" authentication by default, which is more insecure than "open" authentication. I don't know why openwrt hast this default then. Changing the authentication method could be done by setting an nvram variable: http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Configuration#head-f0ebbaed59da8d1170fa7a7684fde5ad1b9e11eb Still bad that if you stay at peoples homes that use shared authentication softmac does not seem to work as it does not support it: http://www.tgunkel.de/it/hardware/doc/ibook_g4_linux.en http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01042.html As i cannot ask everybody where i use the wlan to change the settings. Still i am somewhat happy now. Probably it helps others. Error code 13 in softmac means unsupported algorithm.
