Hi, I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network with an IBM Thinkpad which has an ipw2100 Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 connection.
I am trying to connect to a WEP encrypted network, with a 128 bit HEX security key. The network does not publish its SSID. I had successfully connected to this using previous releases of Solaris (eg. SXCE b78) however have more recently tried with OpenSolaris 2008.05 and also SXCE b78 "bfu'ed" with a recent ON. I have tried using nwam and wificonfig and neither will connect. I also tried having my network publish its SSID. On that occasion I could sometimes (but not always) see the network (sometimes!) when I issued the command wificonfig -i ipw0 scan but it still wouldn't connect. There is nothing wrong with my hardware as far as I can determine. I am currently connected via the same hardware using Fedora 9. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction with correcting this problem? Many thanks, Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
