Shoot me now for the lack of science in this, but i too have an iwi card using the firmware found at the same site.
It all worked fine without wep, then i tried adding wep and it just stoped. At first i was calling the nwid mydomain.org. I changed it to wirelessland.mydomain.org and it all just worked, using 128bit wep and dhcpd. Like i said, no science, no sense. But it worked. Perhaps it was something todo with the dhcpd, once it worked i just left it working. sbr On Wed, 18 May 2005, [ISO-8859-1] Pablo Mindez Hernandez wrote: > Hi all: > > I've bought a new Dell X1 and I'm having problems configuring iwi on > it.
