I need help connecting to a wireless network. The network has been set up a while ago and the original ascii password is long lost. However the hex key has been recovered from a windows laptop and used ever since to configure new windows laptops to use wireless. However OpenSolaris dladm rejects this key:
# dladm create-secobj -c wpa <name> provide value for 'name': **************************************************************** dladm: invalid secure object value #dladm connect-wifi -e <ssid> -k <64-hex-digits> -s wpa dladm: invalid key(s) '<64-hex-digits>' # the ssid correctly appears in dladm scan-wifi this very laptop can join other networks under OpenSolaris when using ascii password. this very laptop can join this very network under windows using this very hex key. As I understand, the ascii password is used to generate hex key like this hex=some_crypto_fun(ascii,ssid) While it might not be easy to recover ascii password from the key, it is not necessary, since it is used only to generate the hex key that is available already. There should be a way to use the hex key directly, like windows does. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
