Way back when I first got my phone, on the factory install, I managed to get it to talk WEP (using iwconfig etc at the command line). It was a bit flaky - eg you had to set things in a certain order and sometimes you had to wait a couple of minutes if you put the key in wrong. So /theoretically/ it can be made to work. Having said that, I've not got it to work on 2008.x or FSO recently (not even with wpa_supplicant) , and have more or less given up; if I'm out of the house/office wifi ain't gonna be helpful to me, and in the house/office I'm never >10ft away from a running linux box with USB. There's still a few of us about stuck with WEP - yes I know it's breakable but on the other hand getting WPA working means me buying a) new laptop b) new wireless router c) new wireless bridge. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
