------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 22:46 ------- Interesting - I'm *sure* I read while I was (very painfully) setting my card up manually (under SuSE) that wvlan_cs didn't support encryption. Anyway - my next suggestion...also during that process, I had trouble using a short key of the type you're using (64bit or 96bit?) When I used a 128bit key instead, it worked OK. Could you test this somehow? Set up a 128bit key on your home network, maybe? Unfortunately, if this turns out to be the case, you'll be a bit stuck, I suspect, since I doubt your company will want to change its key just for you :). In that case, you can always get it loading wvlan_cs again, instead of orinoco_cs. Edit /etc/pcmcia/config , find the entry for your card, and change the bind "orinoco_cs" line to read bind "wvlan_cs" That'd be a workaround. BTW, I see why you want the script...it ought to work with Mandrake, since Mandrake actually just uses a script that calls iwconfig to apply the settings it writes to ifcfg-eth0. So if you can get encryption working, your script ought to work, no worries on that front. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Am running 9.1RC2 on a Compaq M700 with a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco) wireless card. On inserting the card, I run the following script to setup my encryption parameters (the essid, and encryption keys have been edited out for security purposes): /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid companyid /sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [1] /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [2] /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [3] /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [4] /sbin/iwconfig eth1 key [1] At this point I can see the wireless access-point with iwconfig. Then I invoke "dhclient eth1" and get the following output: Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0pl2 Copyright 1995-2001 Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved.

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. I am unable to hook up to the company network. If I repeat the above on the same hardware booting MDK 9.0, (using "dhcpcd eth1" instead of "dhclient eth1"), everything works! In my home wireless environment, where I have no encryption turned on, I do not run the script above, but simply type "dhclient eth1" on MDK 9.1RC2 and I am up on the network.
