Well, I finally cut out WEP security (the right way) and tested, and the
wireless connected just fine. This is with the FC5 orinoco_pci module on a
D-Link DWL-520 Rev B1.
Adding WEP back in breaks it.
So is the wireless card (or the driver) too old to do WEP? If so, what
security can I adopt, if any?
Are you sure you are using the same WEP code for both ends of the path?
Some brands of equipment will let you use a passphrase to set up
128-bit WEP, others require the full frontal hexadecimal code word.
Some devices will do the translation from passphrase to hex. Some
won't. Some software requires the hexadecimal password to be preceded
by 0x when you type it in, some requires some other character, some
wants none. Its sort of a mess.
