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
