--hABqaeELJqnDDeDE Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Help.... I'm trying to configure WEP encryption on my new US Robotics 2410 wavelan card [1], but when I try to enable encryption keys, it fails. The card supports both 64bit WEP and 128bit WEP (silly me, I thought weak-w= ep=20 was 40bit and not-so-weak-wep was 128bit..), and neither appear to work. = =20 It works fine with WEP disabled, though. =20 (oh, I'm running 4.3-RELEASE, if that matters..) # wicontrol -i wi0 NIC serial number: [ 99SA01000000 ] Station name: [ FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ FreeBSD IBSS ] Current netname (SSID): [ WLAN ] Desired netname (SSID): [ ] Current BSSID: [ 00:90:d1:01:1f:88 ] Channel list: [ 2047 ] IBSS channel: [ 3372 ] Current channel: [ 11 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 43 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Port type (1=3DBSS, 3=3Dad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:4a:cd:c0:00:53 ] TX rate (selection): [ 3 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 2 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=3Don, 0=3Doff): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ On ] TX encryption key: [ ] Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ] # wicontrol -i wi0 -k abcdefghijklm -v 1=20 # wicontrol -i wi0 NIC serial number: [ 99SA01000000 ] Station name: [ FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ FreeBSD IBSS ] Current netname (SSID): [ WLAN ] Desired netname (SSID): [ ] Current BSSID: [ 00:90:d1:01:1f:88 ] Channel list: [ 2047 ] IBSS channel: [ 3372 ] Current channel: [ 11 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 35 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Port type (1=3DBSS, 3=3Dad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:4a:cd:c0:00:53 ] TX rate (selection): [ 3 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 2 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2347 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=3Don, 0=3Doff): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ On ] TX encryption key: [ ] Encryption keys: [ abcdefghijklm ][ ][ ][ ] # wicontrol -i wi0 -T 1 wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Input/output error the same thing happens when i use a 5 byte, 40bit key.
