True it is. I have a simple 128-bit WEP setup presently - I use to have a
system that couldn't handle WPA so I didn't set it up for WPA; I think I could
now, but I don't have the time quite at the moment. Any how...wpa_supplicant
didn't like the key (see below); thus my original e-mail.
network={
ssid="my-network-here"
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=hexkeyhere
priority=1
auth_alg=SHARED
}
I did try wicd, which seemed to be working for the most part, but still having
a little trouble...I restarted the router and it still didn't want to
connect...so still working on it. wicd is nice though.
TIA,
Ben

wpa_supplicant is _very_ configurable, so I would guess that it can handle your
AP configuration, but you just haven't configured it enough! Not that this is
slack on your part - it took me a while to figure out all the options I needed
for some of my AP's too...
