Hi, I am running Debian Lenny on a Dell Vostro laptop which has a ipw3945 wifi card.
The card is recognised by the software and it even works somehow (I can see all the wifi networks in my building using wifi-radar). But whatever I do I cannot get a (DHCP) ip address from my Zyxel AP which is using a WEP key (and it did when I still used Windows Vist so I know for a fact that it is possible). Does anyone have any idea of how to get this card talking to my WEP AP? TIA Some maybe useful info: ***************** /etc/network/interfaceses: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth2 inet dhcp wireless-essid askesis wireless-key s:My_Edited_Away_Key auto eth2 ***************** iwlist scanning: lo Interface doesn't support scanning. eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. eth2 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:A0:C5:68:EC:B1 ESSID:"askesis" Protocol:IEEE 802.11b Mode:Master Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s Quality=84/100 Signal level=-49 dBm Noise level=-49 dBm Extra: Last beacon: 68ms ago ***************** iwconfig eth2: eth2 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"askesis" Nickname:"askesis" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:A0:C5:68:EC:B1 Bit Rate:11 Mb/s Tx-Power:15 dBm Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:Myxx-Edit-AWay-Keyx-xxxx-xxxx-xx Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=84/100 Signal level=-49 dBm Noise level=-49 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:74 Missed beacon:0 -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
