wireless.opts and Encryption

[Jack <ifup@yifan.net>]

Hi,

Success with these:
	
  .  no encryption.  settings in wireless.opts just work fine.
  .  with encryption.  after plug-in the card,  manually do "iwconfig
     eth1 key 0102030405",  then the link is up.

Failure:

  .  with encryption.  KEY="0102-0304-05" (or KEY="0102030405") in
     wireless.opts does not work.  no luck with KEY="s:ascii" ascii
     passphrase either.  In each case I can bring the link up by set the
     key manually.

Tech info:
 
  .  Debian's pcmcia-cs package installed.  (I'm on unstable branch.)
  .  pcmcia modules come from 2.4.18 kernel.  orinoco_cs.o is used.
  .  AP (linksys wap11),  pcmcia card (Orinoco silver)

I've looked into /etc/pcmcia/wireless,  looks fine to me.  if $KEY is
defined,  it should run iwconfig to configure the KEY.

Any idea?


Thanks,
Jack
