Way back when I first got my phone, on the factory install, I managed to get it to talk WEP (using iwconfig etc at the command line). It was a bit flaky - eg you had to set things in a certain order and sometimes you had to wait a couple of minutes if you put the key in wrong. So /theoretically/ it can be made to work. Having said that, I've not got it to work on 2008.x or FSO recently (not even with wpa_supplicant) , and have more or less given up; if I'm out of the house/office wifi ain't gonna be helpful to me, and in the house/office I'm never >10ft away from a running linux box with USB. There's still a few of us about stuck with WEP - yes I know it's breakable but on the other hand getting WPA working means me buying a) new laptop b) new wireless router c) new wireless bridge. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

In my experience none of the GUI tools work with WEP, but using a terminal you can manage to make the FR sort-of work, i.e. it sometimes connects to a WEP network for a short while. Apparently with latest kernels this is fixed (the driver side, not the UI side), I've had better experience with Andy's tracking kernel.

Wifi - wep or wpa enabled
Default install. Does the wifi work only with wpa? or does it also work with wep? My internal wifi is wep enabled only, and I cannot get the phone to recognize the key. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
