[WIFI] airport card WEP configuration + router WRT54G
Hi
I'm posting here because I didn't find anything on google/linux...
My problem is :
I'm configuring a wireless router [essid : ploumploum ]. The router
configuration menu give me the choice between many possibles security
settings, and I want to use my ibook with this router, with a (not
really, I know) securised transmission.
FYI : ibook2.2 / 2.4.22pre3-ben0 kernel + Debian sid (with airport
perfectly working without encryption)
I've got the choice (in the router configuration menu) between 4 types
of possibilities :
1) WAP
2) WAP radius
3) Radius
4) WEP
With an airport card, I don't really have any choice : WEP only (what
else ?)
So let's go with WEP 48 /128 bits encryption
...and let's take 48 (the most simple) first.
When I give a passphrase, I have 4 keys. One of them (of my choice) will
be the default key dor the transmission
For example (48 bits) :
rirififiloulou (passphrase) give
key1 : 05657FC097
key2 : 05B4E44560
key3 : C30E5857A3
key4 : 3FD7589471
So, if I take the key2, my /etc/modules.conf will be modified like this:
options airport essid plouploum enc 05B4E44560
Next :
depmod -a
ifconfig eth0 down # airport is eth0 interface
rmmod airport
modprobe airport
/etc/init.d/networking restart
And it doesn't work all all (wavemon segfault too) :-(
While "options airport essid plouploum" works perfectly (no encryption)
FYI, the router is a WRT54G, the airport card is the "Classis Mac
Airport Card", like everyone can find in a Mac...
My first question : is my key correctly defined in my /etc/modules.conf
? What's wrong ?? What is the correct synopsys ?
Did someone know another way to do this (with iwconfig, for example) ?
Last, but not the least ;-) the same example with a 128 bits encryption
key :
passphrase : allolapolice
key1 : 76504DAF4DF046BE2EC6988714
key2 : F65EB62E1554DBB7F4036F28E2
key3 : 740336067362C39F81C62B7EE5
key4 : C902F6555C822C4E8C4F9F7C9A
(en admettant que j'ai choisi la key1 par défaut utilisée pour les
transmissions).
What write in the /etc/modules.conf ?
Thank you for avdance for any help
Best Regards
P.S. : don't work _at_all_ on Mac OS X too...
