Hi,
Having a problem getting my 3Com XJack card (3CRWE62092A) to
associate with my SMC access point (SMC2755W) with 128-bit WEP
encryption. I have read through the NWN driver documentation and most
of the Wireless HOWTOs available on the web to no avail.
I can get the card to work using Windows 2000 (had to upgrade the
firmware to get 128-bit WEP to work). I am using poldhu_cs version
0.2.13 with kernel 2.4.20 (built by me), wireless extensions v15, and
wireless tools v25.
I see some weird output from iwlist [if] key -- it appears that the
right encryption key is not being selected: I get "Current Transmit Key:
[0]" instead of the expected "Current Transmit Key: [1]" (I ran iwlist
on another device -- Sharp Zaurus -- and saw that output). Is this
expected or could this be the problem?
I have enclosed some output which may be useful in case anyone can
help...
Thanks,
Martin
