Firmware upgrade for Airport card

2006-03-14 Thread Andreas Eichner

Hi people,

i hope you can help me. I tried to get the Airport card in my iBook
running but no luck. I googled a lot and finally I'm sure it is the
firmware of my card that dosn't support the WEP encryption.

Current Firmware is Lucent/Agere 4.16

From what I've seen I think I need at least a version greater then 6.xx.
Has anyone an idea how to upgrade the firmware? Or do the WEP stuff in
software? Found the ieee80211 headers included in orinoco driver source
but it seems to be unused.

Thanks a lot for any kind of help.

Thanks a lot! MacOS X did it - firmware was updated to v8.7 - and now
the WEP encryption is enabled.
Now I'm happy again with my sweet iBook ;-)

Thanks once more...
