I hacked a custom ndis driver to use WPA-PSK. The driver pretends to be WEP (so that I can continue to use the existing API's) but under the covers it actually calls the ndis wrapper with WPA OIDs instead of the WEP OIDs. The essential changes I made are a call to OID_802_11_ADD_KEY instead of OID_802_11_ADD_WEP, and NDIS_80211_WEPSTAT_ENC2ENABLED instead of NDIS_80211_WEPSTAT_ENABLED. All the changes are in if_ndis.c:ndis_setstate_80211. I've tried two different cards: Linksys WPC54G and Dell WLAN 1350. Both cards associate fine, but do not get much further than that. I am unable to get an IP address from the NETGEAR router via DHCP, even though the link is up. Note that both cards work fine with the same router in Windows..... Is there anything else I need to do besides provide the right key and encryption method in ndis_setstate_80211? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ---------------------------- >>>>> "Sam" =3D=3D Sam Leffler <sam at errno.com> writes: Hi, Sam> I have no intention.
