Hi everybody, I have decided that using the orange dongle just isnt
working, so I am trying something else. Its called Joiku. I just
wondered if anybody has used it before and got it to work.

      
I'm typing this mail whilst sat on the train connected via wifi to my
phone which is running the pay-for version of Joikuspot.

    
I have set it up according to the instructions, but it keeps asking
for the encryption key.

      
I had a similar issue when I tried to use WEP passphrase, but instead
use WEP open, and it works fine.
    

Yep, WEP open and changed the key to something I could remember on the settings
page. Works a treat for me but I must admit I use it mostly with my ipod touch
(*boo, *hiss). Beats getting an iphone though :)

  
Cheers,
Al.
    

Regards,
Jamie

I found a page on the Ubuntu wiki, that talks about WEP. It give this to try,

c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwconfig eth2 essid MyNet
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo iwconfig eth2 key xxxxxxxxxx
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo ifconfig eth2 up
c...@ubuntu:~$ sudo dhclient3 eth2

I changed the Mynet to the Joiku name, and the xxx to the encryption key, but it says it cant find the essid

it says error for wireless request *Set ESSID* (8B1A) SET failed on device eth2 not such device

not sure if I did it correct there, but that's what came back.

Could it be the NetworkManager that is the problem here?

John.
