Comment (by ksc):
I have only 1 key setup (doesn't matter whether it is 40bit or 104bit,
same results) and the tx key is 1 also.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file
{{{
auto ath10
iface ath10 inet static
address 10.17.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
post-down wlanconfig ath10 destroy
up /usr/bin/startwep
#up iwconfig ath10 key xxxxxxxxxx
pre-up wlanconfig ath10 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode adhoc
pre-up iwconfig ath10 essid "myssid" mode Ad-Hoc channel 165 rate
auto rts off frag off
}}}
and here's the content of startwep (I've shrinked it to a one-liner for
debugging purposes)
{{{
#!/bin/bash
iwconfig ath10 key xxxxxxxxxx
}}}
here's what "iwlist ath10 key" shows for both systems
{{{
ath10 3 key sizes : 40, 104, 128bits
4 keys available :
[1]: xxxx-xxxx-xx (40 bits)
[2]: off
[3]: off
[4]: off
Current Transmit Key: [1]
Security mode:restricted
}}}
I'm definately sure that both sets are setup with the same keys. So before
the 2 sets are connected, "iwconfig ath10" shows
{{{
...
Link Quality=0/94 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
...
}}}
..and after the 2 sets are connected, both shows something like
{{{
...
Link Quality=33/94 Signal level=-95 dBm Noise level=-95 dBm
...
}}}
But when I start ping-ing them there's no response until I manually set
the key off. The strange thing is that if I change the
/etc/network/interfaces to this...
{{{
...
#up /usr/bin/startwep
up iwconfig ath10 key xxxxxxxxxx
...
}}}
on both systems, the ping works. This only occurs in Ad-hoc mode. Once I
change 1 set to be "master" and the other as "sta", and do a reboot, the
ping is running ok..
