[PATCH] dynamic wep keys for airo.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm resubmitting a patch for the 2.6.11.8 aironet driver (airo.c) that will 
enable dynamic wep keying without disabling the MAC. It allows 
us to use xsupplicant with the driver.

Aironet provides the ability to set WEP keys permanently or 
temporarily. There is a special IW_ENCODE_TEMP flag for selecting
 which type of key you are setting. However, apart from iwconfig, 
nobody seems to use this flag. When a permanent WEP key is set, 
the MAC must be disabled. I have added a module parameter to skip
 disabling the MAC even if a permanent WEP key is set. Using this 
flag allows xsupplicant to work without modification.
