It's a Netgear WGT624 (Hardwareversion V3H1/Firmwareversion V1.1.125_1.1.1GR). I tried to associate ndis0 with wi0 in hostap mode and got the same results. > You also haven't said what Windows driver version you're using, but > you need to cheat a bit to figure that out.

The old driver which was shipped with the Laptop: StringFileInfo 040904B0 Comments NDIS 5 Miniport Driver for Win2000 CompanyName Intel Corporation FileDescription Intel Wireless LAN Driver FileVersion 8010-28 Driver InternalName w22n50.SYS LegalCopyright Copyright Intel Corporation 2004 OriginalFilename w22n50.SYS ProductName Intel Wireless LAN Adapter VarFileInfo Translation The "new" one I downloaded from Intel today: StringFileInfo 040904B0 Comments NDIS 5.1 Miniport Driver CompanyName Intel Corporation FileDescription Intel Wireless LAN Driver FileVersion 9003-9 Driver InternalName w29n51.SYS LegalCopyright Copyright Intel Corporation 2004 OriginalFilename w29n51.SYS ProductName Intel Wireless LAN Adapter VarFileInfo Translation > You also haven't said what sort of laptop this is.

It's one less variable to worry about. Try using the following: > > # ifconfig ndis0 ssid "" up > > # ifconfig ndis0 ssid "yourssid" bssid <BSSID of your AP> up Specifying the bssid is the solution. ifconfig ndis0 ssid ec60bfg3b4 bssid <BSSID> wepkey 1:0x<WEPKEY>\ deftxkey 1 wepmode on up Works with the new and the old driver and with both APs.
