One of my LTSP clients is a notebook with a Netgear MA401 wireless NIC and wireless_ltsp-3.0.5. My server runs RedHat 9 with LTSP 3.0.
With WEP disabled on my Netgear AP, my notebook has no trouble connecting to the network, obtaining an IP address and starting up as a LTSP client running X. Once I enable 128 bit WEP on my AP however, the notebook is unable to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server when booting up, and ends in a kernel panic. I have verified that I entered the correct key in the key="" line in my wireless.cfg file on my boot diskette. Judging by the blinking activity light on my NIC, it appears that my NIC is unable to make a connection with my AP, and therefore unable to request an IP address from the DHCP server. Running Knoppix on this same notebook, I have verified that my NIC can get an IP addy from the DHCP server if I first issue a "iwconfig eth0 key xxxxxxx" followed by the "pump" command. My only guess is that perhaps when booting with the wireless_ltsp diskette, the iwconfig command is not being issued before a DHCP request. I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this and offer a solution. TIA.
