Yes, I do use a shared key. If I don't specify a shared key, our
Windows PC's fail to connect to the AP.
From my wireless PC:
# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::20d:88ff:fec7:5d89%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
inet 192.168.63.25 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.63.255
ether 00:0d:88:c7:5d:89
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid datawok 1:datawok
channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
wepkey 1:40-bit
Please note that the AP is 802.11b, thus the automatic selection
of 11Mbps.
If I bootup without any network configuration, here's all I
have to do to get the wireless card working:
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.63.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 \
ssid datawok nwkey 0xXXXXXXXXXX
route add default 192.168.63.1
echo "nameserver 24.204.0.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
