Hi all.

I am running Gentoo 64-bit 2.6.17-r5 on my Compaq Presario R3370.

I have bcm43xx built in my kernel and it works great without
encryption. But when I try connecting it to my home WEP network, it
gives this error:

# iwconfig eth1 key open ababababab
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

lsmod returns this:

# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
bcm43xx               415040  0
nvidia                    5422804  8

ieee80211_crypt         4992  1 ieee80211

This is my script that worked before:

#!/bin/bash

/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid shalom
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key open ababababab
/sbin/dhcpcd eth1

Now, it messes up at the "key open" setting. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks guys.
