Would it be too much trouble to post the entire dmesg from the Nintendo DS?

Therefore the use of a ural adapter in Host AP mode is discouraged." But that is no problem, I use this access point only for DS (and upcoming Wii ;-) ) But I haven't worked out to use the WEP key on the DS. I used the following line to configure the adapter: inet 192.168.22.1 255.255.255.252 NONE media ds2 mediaopt hostap mode 11b nwid zelda chan 12 nwkey mario > > As for the WEP key, you should enter it just like you did on your AP. Then I serached for Access Points with the DS and found zelda, encrypted with WEP. I typed mario as wep key and then the DS told me: cannot connect to access point. I tried 40 and 104 Bits, hexadecimal and ascii keys on both the Openbsd box and the DS, but nothing worked. (now that I know how the DS recognize if it is hexa or ascii (it's the length of the string), but after reading through the wifi website of nintendo I believe they are not really interested in security. They tell you to use an easy to remember wep key, e.g. your cellphone number) Connecting from a Laptop to the Adapter using wep works just without problems. thanks guido
