Update on this matter.
-issued the command:
wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -d -c
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
-then
dhcpcd wlan0
Then everything is ok and my wireless works.
My question is why when I issue /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start it says about the
WEP and doesn't connect?
Thank you.[/code]
