I'm quite sure a Open-Key WEP connection is different from a Open Network (unprotected), since a Open WEP, despite not requesting authentication (as opposed to Shared-Key WEP), still holds a hexadecimal WEP key, which is required for data encryption after connection. If your network is truly Open WEP, then in my experience, wpa_supplicant needs that key in order to successfully attach to the network. So , in addition to what Scole Mail said, if you happened to find out you need a WEP key for real, you could make use of a similar configuration in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf: network={ ssid="xxxxx" key_mgmt=NONE wep_key0=$hex_key #(10 characters) wep_tx_keyidx=0 priority=x } For Shared-Key WEP, simply add : auth_alg=SHARED And then try connecting: wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf You can also avoid using wpa_supplicant at all: ifconfig $interface ssid xxxxxx nwkey $wep_key Best whishes On 1 February 2018 22:34:48 CET, "Xianwen Chen (陈贤文)" <xianwen.c...@gmail.com> wrote: >Dear Dave, >Thank you.
