I've got a t41 with a Cisco MPI350 Card. I'm currently running FC2test2 (plus rawhide) and 2.6.4 kernel. The MPI350 is a very, very tricky beast. Using the RHEL 3 kernel and the mpi350 module (from airo-linux.sourceforge.net) I am able to use WEP and the MPI350 with no issues. The newer unified airo/mpi350 driver, however, doesn't work with WEP. This is the case both in 2.4.2x and 2.6.x. I *AM* able to use the ACU to confiure the card, though. It just doesn't talk properly to the network if WEP (64-bit or 128-bit) is enabled. The cisco airo PCMCIA card works just fine. > has anybody gotten a cisco aironet to work on a linksys router with > preset encription keys? Well, I don't use WEP at home, so no. But I think it's do-able. using the right kernel/driver/firmware combination. First things first ; 1) make sure you ahve the 5.00.03 firmware for the MPI350 - and not anything newer. The newer firmware doesn't play nice with Linux. 2) Make sure you use the mpi350 kernel module, and not the unified airo/mpi350 airo module 3) run the acu as root. It doesn't let you configure everything as a "normal" user. Do you ahve something more exact than "doesn't work" - what are the symptoms? -- ---------------------------------- -- Kevin Sonney -- -- ICQ: 4855069 AIM: ksonney -- ---------------------------------- 1024D/320C 0336 3BC4 13EC 4AEC 6AF2 525F CED7 7BB6 12C9 It's not stupid...it's ADVANCED -- All Mighty Tallest Red (Invader Zim Ep 1)
