Re: Wireless with Set Encode-fail.



Hi,

David Röhr a écrit:
I just got my self an airportcard and a base station. When trying to get
an IP from the base station I get the following error.

Error for wireless request "Set Encode (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.

It take me a long time before I found how_to_do with my airport card...


Then the normal output from dhclient, with no luck recieving any adress.

Is your dhcp client correctly configured ?

FYI, pump worked very well for my in Paris at th Linux Solution Expo (my first airport experience ;-) )

simply : pump -i eth0 # or eth1 for you..

with

iface eth0 inet dhcp


I'm not using a encrypted network (yet). I'm using the default SID from
my station. "3com", and channel 11 (I live in Sweden).

128 bits WEP isn't very secure, but nothing is imho a very bad idea...


My interfaces-configuration looks like this


iface eth1 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe airport

interessant...^^^^

post-down rmmod airport
post-down rmmod orinoco
post-down rmmod hermes

this too...^^^^

wireless_essid 3com wireless_mode Managed wireless_ap any wireless_nick ambrosia
wireless_key off

# my airport card in /etc/network/interfaces with originaly
#configuration

iface eth0 inet static # work's with dhcp too
address 192.168.1.2 # it's not true :-)
netmask	255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1 # of course, because the adress :-)

# the most important :

wireless_essid osiris # symbolic AP name

wireless_mode managed # "m" not "M"

# for 128 bits WEP

wireless_key	ABCDEABCDEABCDEACBDE123456 # for 128 bits WEP




And i'm using 2.4.21-pre4-ben0.

eric@tomate:~$ ssh popom

Hope this can help you...
