Hi!
With madwifi-ng (using the FC5 RPMs from ATrpms), I'm not able to
associate to my access point using WEP anymore. (The old madwifi works
fine.)
"wlanconfig ath0 list scan" shows the accesspoint but even when specifying
the mac with "iwconfig ath0 ap ...", it fails to associate.
I'm using the following commands:
{{{
iwconfig ath0 key xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
iwconfig ath0 ap any
# or: iwconfig ath0 ap 00:02:2D:61:CC:94
iwconfig ath0 channel 6
iwconfig ath0 essid domanig
iwpriv ath0 mode 2
iwpriv ath0 authmode 2
ifconfig ath0 up
}}}
{{{

Scanning shows the following output:

The output of athdebug and 80211debug is attached, as well as additional
info.
I hope it contains some useful parts.
Let me know if you need more information.
