Hi,

Using 9.1RC2 and Linksys USB WPC11 wireless. The AP requires the use of
128-bit encryption.
I have the exact same elements working with Windows XP pro on the same
hardware components.

Without encryption everything works with the following ifcfg-eth0 file:
================================================
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
ONBOOT=yes
WIRELESS_MODE="Managed"
WIRELESS_ESSID="mytest"
WIRELESS_CHANNEL="6"
WIRELESS_RATE="11M"
WIRELESS_RTS="2432"
WIRELESS_FRAG="2346"
================================================

iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption:

Encryption key:off

But when I try the following ifcfg-eth0 which should enable 128-bit
encryption, everything is
setup correctly except for the encryption.

================================================
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
ONBOOT=yes
WIRELESS_MODE="Managed"
WIRELESS_ESSID="mytest"
WIRELESS_CHANNEL="6"
WIRELESS_RATE="11M"
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="DC50-B65D-7ECE-BBEE-FF2D-3594-1A"
WIRELESS_IWCONFIG="key restricted key on"
WIRELESS_RTS="2432"
WIRELESS_FRAG="2346"
================================================

iwconfig shows the following concerning encryption:

Encryption key:0000-0000-00  Encryption mode:restricted   Encryption
mode:open

It looks as if the values are not set or correctly mapped.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or where to search; I have already
covered the Mandrake and Atmel sites, and google has been of little help.
I'll be happy to provide whatever other information you need.

Thanks
