You maybe be correct about that. I've not played with wep much, but have noticed when I was playing with ad-hoc demo mode that I could get a lucent card to connect w/o wep, but maybe I'm confused and it is a simple bug in wi that it reports mixed. : All seems to work except that client connexions drop after an indeterminate : period (perhaps related to signal quality) and won't reconnect unless I : ifconfig down then up the hostap interface. I'm going to see whether : upgrading to the latest firmware effects any improvement. [Test client is a : 3CRSHPW on Win2k running latest firmware.] That's very odd.
