------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 22:12 ------- lsmod reveals that orinoco_cs driver is being loaded under MDK9.1rc2, (wvlan_cs was being loaded under MDK9.0, and was configurable for encryption just fine using iwconfig). I configured my system using drakconnect as suggested, and got similar messages about no DHCP offers in my /var/log/messages, and the wireless network does not come up. drakconnect only gives me one field for encryption key. With iwconfig in MDK 9.0, I was entering 4 keys, and selecting one as the default. I simply entered the value of the default key in drakconnect. Did I do this properly? My reason for using scripts, is because my laptop moves between different wireless environments, and using a script for each environment is the easiest way to adapt. Suggestions for other ways to do this are welcome. The bottom line for me, is that everything was working just fine (with and without encryption) under MDK 9.0, but it only works without encryption in MDK 9.1rc2. I am happy to do things differently under MDK 9.1rc2 if it will get my system to work under encryption. So keep those suggestions coming. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 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: Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0pl2 Copyright 1995-2001 Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved.

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.
