Hi,

 

I have already posted to newbie with no answer.

 

Using 9.1RC2 and Linksys USB WPC11 wireless. The AP requires the use of 128-bit encryption. I have the exact same elements working with Windows XP pro on the same hardware components.

 

Without encryption everything works with the following ifcfg-eth0 file: ================================================

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=192.168.1.10

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=192.168.1.0

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

ONBOOT=yes

WIRELESS_MODE="Managed"

WIRELESS_ESSID="mytest"

WIRELESS_CHANNEL="6"

WIRELESS_RATE="11M"

WIRELESS_RTS="2432"

WIRELESS_FRAG="2346" ================================================

 

iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption:

 

Encryption key:off

 

But when I try the following ifcfg-eth0 which should enable 128-bit encryption, everything is setup correctly except for the encryption.

 

================================================

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=192.168.1.10

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=192.168.1.0

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

ONBOOT=yes

WIRELESS_MODE="Managed"

WIRELESS_ESSID="mytest"

WIRELESS_CHANNEL="6"

WIRELESS_RATE="11M" WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="DC50-B65D-7ECE-BBEE-FF2D-3594-1A"

WIRELESS_IWCONFIG="key restricted key on"

WIRELESS_RTS="2432"

WIRELESS_FRAG="2346" ================================================

 

iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption:

 

Encryption key:0000-0000-00  Encryption mode:restricted   Encryption mode:open

 

It looks as if the values are not set or correctly mapped.

 

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or where to search; I have already covered the Mandrake and Atmel sites, and google has been of little help. I'll be happy to provide whatever other information you need.

 

Thanks
