Product: wireless-tools
Component: wireless-tools
Summary: Unable to connect to encrypted wireless LAN in 9.1RC2
Version: 25-4mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Am running 9.1RC2 on a Compaq M700 with a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco) wireless card.
On inserting the card, I run the following script to setup my encryption
parameters (the essid, and encryption keys have been edited out for security
purposes):
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid companyid
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [1]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [2]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [3]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [4]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key [1]
At this point I can see the wireless access-point with iwconfig.
Then I invoke "dhclient eth1" and get the following output:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
I am unable to hook up to the company network.
If I repeat the above on the same hardware booting MDK 9.0, (using "dhcpcd eth1"
instead of "dhclient eth1"), everything works!
In my home wireless environment, where I have no encryption turned on, I do not
run the script above, but simply type "dhclient eth1" on MDK 9.1RC2 and I am up
on the network.
