Yeah, David Wolfskill pointed this out too. Wonder why I didn't see it
before...maybe something was doing an "ifconfig up" and I just didn't
realize it (pccard_ether maybe?). Pass me the pointy hat.

OK. I have a question...an_readkeyinfo() seems to use the loop counter
i directly in determining what key number to print out. However, the
an_ltv_wepkey structure has an an_key_index member; I'm wondering if
that's somehow significant, should be used, or whatever. I was thinking
of having an_readkeyinfo() print this out just for kicks. No
guarantees, but I'll put it on my TODO list.
Note that an important difference between your laptop configuration and
mine is that you are using a contiguous range of WEP keys (0 and 1)
whereas I am not (0 and 2).
FYI: Here's the info from Cisco's key manglement program under Win2K,
the same interface as above:
Current Adapter is 340 Series PCMCIA
Adapter's Firmware Does Support WEP (Version V3.98)
Adapter is Associated
WEP is Enabled
WEP Key 1 is Set (40 Bits)
WEP Key 2 is Not Set
WEP Key 3 is Set (128 Bits)
WEP Key 4 is Not Set
WEP Tx Key is Key 3
Doesn't bear much resemblance to what I showed before (the transmit key
was right, but little else).
Thanks,
Bruce.
