I'm trying to set up my wireless adapter in openbsd/macppc, it's a DWL-122 USB adapter and "man wi" says it's supported:
The following cards are among those supported by the wi driver: [...] D-Link DWL-122 Prism-3 USB [...] when i connect the adapter e get the following messages: wi0 at uhub3 port 1 wi0: D-Link DWL-122, rev 1.10/1.32, addr 2 wi0: PRISM3 (USB) (0x8026), Firmware 1.1.3 (primary), 1.7.1 (station), address 00:11:95:89:2b:9e then i use wicontrol to configure my wlan: set infrastructure mode # wicontrol -p 1 wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Numerical argument out of domain set my SSID # wicontrol -n MyWifiName wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Numerical argument out of domain Desired netname (SSID): [ ] changes to: Desired netname (SSID): [ MyWifiName ] enable encryption # wicontrol -e 1 wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Numerical argument out of domain Encryption: [ Off ] changes to: Encryption: [ On ] set my 40bit WEP key # wiconrtol -k 0xMYKEYINHEX wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Numerical argument out of domain Nothing changes (even with -v 1): TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] Is the "wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Numerical argument out of domain" error a normal thing? "man wi" says: wi supports both software and hardware WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks. It can be typically configured in one of three modes: no encryption; 40-bit en- cryption; or 104-bit encryption. So the encryption should be supported... How can i switch between Hardware and Software encryption? At the moment wicontrol states: Encryption algorithm: [ Firmware WEP ] Thank you, Luca
