As you can see, it doesn't find anything that matches the current configuration. > $ iwconfig eth1 key s:11111 > b43-phy0 debug: Using hardware based encryption for keyidx: 0, mac: > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff You've now enabled a key, but not told it to associate using that key. > As you can see, I'm not associated.

Can't say that matters since wext is actually sufficiently undefined to allow both behaviours. :) I'm strongly against changing the behaviour in mac80211 because wext is sufficiently undefined that once we accept one of these things we'll have a HUGE mess of code because all sorts of wext ioctls affect possible association etc. > Note that the same happens if I let Debian manage the card.
