Hey guys,
I have a problem with my wireless card. I went looking back to the list
archives and found out that Arul had a problem almost EXACTLY like mine. The
only differences is that I'm using the amd64bit 2.6.19-r5 kernel on a Compaq
Presario R3440CA. Here's his problem. Same as mine, but there wasn't any say
of how to correct it.
"Hi all.
I am running Gentoo 64-bit 2.6.17-r5 on my Compaq Presario R3370.
I have bcm43xx built in my kernel and it works great without
encryption. But when I try connecting it to my home WEP network, it
gives this error:
# iwconfig eth1 key open ababababab
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
lsmod returns this:
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
bcm43xx 415040 0
nvidia 5422804 8
snd_pcm_oss 36576 0
snd_mixer_oss 14592 1 snd_pcm_oss
ieee80211softmac 24512 1 bcm43xx
ieee80211 40104 2 bcm43xx,ieee80211softmac
ieee80211_crypt 4992 1 ieee80211
This is my script that worked before:
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid shalom
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key open ababababab
/sbin/dhcpcd eth1
Now, it messes up at the "key open" setting. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks guys.
-Arul"
Could you guys give me a hand?
