Package: linux-wlan-ng
Version: 0.2.0+0.2.1pre21-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
nwepgen outputs 4 hex-keys for a string. These keys are *NOT* the
ASCII-to-HEX conversion of the string that is used to convert wep
strings.
Here is an example:
$ nwepgen abcde 5
11:67:73:94:13
e2:c1:b3:e0:3b
ae:3a:9a:61:84
23:e3:bb:1d:ab
The hex-key corresponding to "abcde" is "61:62:63:64:65"
I have written a patch that replaces nwepgen by wepgen. Works for me,
but be aware that I removed the use of old nwepgen in the /etc/network
script.
Could you integrate it in next version of the package ?
This bug is very annoying because I searched hours why this damned
wireless network would not work and I almost gave up... I can imagine
that a lot of users will give up and say "encrypted wireless still does
not work under debian". This is why I gave it the severity "important".
If you disagree, just modify it ;-)
Cheers,
tibob
PS: Please also note that my algorithm is quite simple and that some
vendors use slightly different ASCII-TO-HEX algorithms. If some user
complain, you'll have to insert a switch to choose the conversion
algorithm :-)
