Hello, I have search the archive bt found nothing relevant to my problem. I have a Wireless Accesspoint (Netgear WG302 and a PCMCIA Netgear WAG511). Then downloaded, compiled and installed madwifi-cvs-snapshot-2004-11-30.tar.gz: and thats it. fine in an DELL Latitude C800. At the moment all works fine but. But I have trouble when I set the Encyption or better the key. In my Accesspoint I have used: Network Authentication to 'OpenSystem' and the DataEncryption to 'NONE' This works but is not what I want. If I set the Dataencryption to for e.g 64Bit MEP , How I have to set the the key in the configuration file: keys-ath0. At the moment I have : KEY= and it works for DataEncryption = 'NONE' How I can create the key or see the Key that is generated for the given Passphrase so I can put it into my keys-ath0 file ? Here for completeness my ifcfg-ath0 : # Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC DEVICE=ath0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:09:5B:A1:0C:53 ESSID=HACKER NETMASK=255.255.255.0 DHCP_HOSTNAME=192.168.44.50 IPADDR= DOMAIN= USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY= TYPE=Wireless IPV6INIT=no CHANNEL=1 MODE=Managed RATE=Auto and my keys-ath0: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-ath0 KEY= I have the following options for Network Authentication: Open System Shared Key Legacy 802.1X WPA with Radius WPA-PSK Which one I should use ? And for Data Encryption I can use: 64 bits WEP 128 bits WEP 152 bits WEP What is the right value to use ? Thanks for any information how to active the data encryption. Reinhard
