Hi folks, I have a HP compaq nx7000 notebook with 5.4-PRERELEASE (but the problem was there in 5.2.1-RELEASE and 5.3-RELEASE too).
I have a small shell script to bring up my wlan with driver ndis: > cat wlanup #!/bin/sh kldload ndis kldload if_ndis ifconfig ndis0 up ifconfig ndis0 ssid 'my_ssid' nwkey 0xMy_Ex_Key_Here wepmode on > when I call wlanup as root, I get the following: ndis0: <Intel (R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter> mem 0x90000000-0x90000fff irq 5 at device 2.0 on pci2 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: my_Ex_MAC_Address_here ndis0: 11b rates: 11Mbps 2MBps 1MBps 5.5Mbps which sounds good. Then I get: ndis0: enable WEP failed: 19 ndis0: enable WEP failed: 19 ndis0: enable WEP failed: 19 ndis0: enable WEP failed: 19 which doesn't sound good. Finally it says: ndis0: link up Then the wireless LAN works well, most of the times. Some times I get a "network is down" message, so I have to reboot, and most of the times it then works. The problem is with the WEP key, as fas as I can understand the message. I can assure you that the WEP key is the right one, I double checked with the original one, however I have the prove, because the wlan works. What could lead to the "enable WEP failed: 19" error?
