Public bug reported:
When connecting to a WEP-encrypted WiFi network, using 'Shared Key' as
authentication method, the system uses the 'Open System' authentication
method instead. At least, this is my suspicion when I try to connect to
such a network and I'm not getting access (while the credentials are
okay). Opening a console and typing 'dmesg' produces the following
output:
[ 1997.197199] SoftMAC: Open Authentication with 00:0e:a6:63:10:b5 failed,
error code: 1
[ 1997.558916] SoftMAC: Open Authentication with 00:0e:a6:63:10:b5 failed,
error code: 1
This message is repeated several times.
When I'm using WinXP on the same machine, connecting to the same
network, using the same credentials, the connection is established
without any problems.
