 There is a patch (03_fix-wpa.patch) applied to the source, enabling 
 HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT and HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT defines.
 
 These are needed for proper wpa_supplicant and network-manager 
 operation. My very blind guess is that they may interfere with proper 
 WEP operation. Can you try disabling this part of the patch, build and 
 see if it makes a difference?

I believe I have the same behavior with an open access point

 Symptoms are:

I understand from talking to you on irc that before using our package
you built and installed rt2860 yourself.  I wonder if there is some
remnant of that initial install remaining on your system that
interferes.  Might be worth checking into.

Hi:

I have a similar problem with my EeePC 900.

Yesterday, I connected to my home router using WICD.  When I did
iwconfig, my router was there but with no Encryption key.  At the end
of the session, I disconnected manually but could not reconnect with
WICD. I got an authentication problem message.

This morning, iwconfig shows an Encryption key.

Cheers!

Charles

 Hi guys, 
 
 I have an EEE1000 and I'm having problems getting the wireless to
 work. Symptoms are:
 
 driver loads, ra0 wireless device appears.
 
 iwlist scan works:
 
 ra0   Scan completed :
   Cell 01 - Address: 00:09:5B:3F:E2:BB
 ESSID:milton
 Mode:Managed
 Channel:1
 Quality:50/100  Signal level:-70 dBm  Noise
 level:-97 dBm Encryption key:on
 Bit Rates:11 Mb/s
 
 but when I set the essid and key using iwconfig (it's WEP) iwconfig
 doesn't  reflect this change:
 
 ra0   RT2860 Wireless  ESSID:  Nickname:RT2860STA
   Mode:Auto  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Bit Rate=1 Mb/s   
   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

   Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
   Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
 
 and trying to dhclient doesn't work.
 
 I'm using the ra2860-source package from your repo installed using
 m-a a-i against linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 on lenny. 
 
 dmesg shows:

 I was hoping someone might have some ideas, given that I'm told people
 definitely have it working.
 
 Thanks,
 Matt
