linux-wlan-ng and 128-bit WEP help needed
I'm trying to configure WEP on my WiFi setup consisting of a Microsoft MN-500 wireless router and Microsoft MN-520 (Prism) NIC in a Debian laptop. So far, everything is working per design (although I can't figure out how to read signal strength, background noise level, etc.) with the exception of WEP. This is sort of a new area for me. The router will allow me to enter a hex string up to 26 characters long, which seems to be about 6 characters too few to add up to 128 bits. Still, assuming that's correct and I should press the "I believe button", what is the syntax for setting that key in /etc/network/interfaces? Believe me, I'd *love* to RTFM if only I could find one. -- Kirk Strauser pgpmWHN4o5S3l.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not a hex string, not > colon-seperated octets, just "on". After a bit forth and back i want to add a little on here. I could not get the wlan_ng options to work in my /etc/network/interfaces originally and ended up with having something like: wireless_enc 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:01:23:45:67:89 in there. This is due to having eth1 assigned to my wlan card (not wlan*). linux-wlan-ng does not recognise other cards than wlan* and having wireless-tools installed.

The WEP key is really 104 bits long. 24 bits come from somewhere else (just as the "64-bit" version really involves a 40-bit key). >and I should > press the "I believe button", what is the syntax for setting that key in > /etc/network/interfaces? wlan_ng_key0 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:01:23:45:67:89 > Believe me, I'd *love* to RTFM if only I could > find one. /usr/share/doc/linux-wlan-ng/README.Debian.gz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Not a hex string, not > colon-seperated octets, just "on". After a bit forth and back i want to add a little on here. I could not get the wlan_ng options to work in my /etc/network/interfaces originally and ended up with having something like: wireless_enc 01:23:45:67:89:ab:cd:ef:01:23:45:67:89 in there. This is due to having eth1 assigned to my wlan card (not wlan*). linux-wlan-ng does not recognise other cards than wlan* and having wireless-tools installed. That package accepts eth1 as a wlan card and uses the same options in a different way. -- Regards, Martin List-Petersen martin at list-petersen dot se -- no...

I was certain that the behaviour you described wasn't possible - and it wasn't, given my setup. Thanks for the followup. That could be a handy tip for future use. -- Kirk Strauser pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
