128bit WEP

2005-03-08 Thread Kevin Downey
Does FreeBSD support 128bit WEP? I have a Atheros based card and would
like to connect to an ap that is using 128bit WEP. When I try to
connect using the 128bit wep key ifconfig says I am using a 104bit key
and I get alot of could not associate for reason 25 in dmesg.
Speaking of which I have not been able to find a list of reasons so I
can figure out what reason 25 is.

P.S. I know WEP is lame, and do not need 50 emails in response to this
email telling me so.

The actual key length is 104 bits for 128 bit WEP encryption.
Double check the manpage for wi and post your ifconfig line..
Also.. what card are you using.. what does the kernel say about the firmware 
version?

Hope this helps..

ifconfig line is:
ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.2.111 mode 11g channel 6 ssid kubo wepmode
on wepkey 0x28529850294957320938294585

what I am getting in dmesg is:
auth0: association failed (reason 25) for 00:0D:3A:74:00:61

00:0D:3A:74:00:61 is the BSSID of the AP

wicontrol -i ath0 -L  lists the AP

Your *key* is 104-bits (26 hex digits)... there is a 24 bit 
Initialization Vector added to the key.

Double check your SSID on the AP and make sure it matches the 
'ifconfig...' you have.  Also might try explicitly specifying *which* 
weptxkey (1-4) you are using in ifconfig.

Also,  for what its worth my atheros cards do not work well in g with my 
AP (WRT54G)... I had to set it to b.  So you might try that till you get 
it on its feet.  Just my 2 cents.

I set up a WRT54G and could never get it to use a high level of  
security.  You may have to tone it down a bit from 128bit.

Try this link if you like source code
http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/search?v=RELENG53string=BSSID
What is it saying about the BSSID 00:0D:3A:74:00:61?
Are you trying to set the SSID=BSSID or soething like that?
http://www.mpirical.com/companion/mpirical_companion.html
The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic  
Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID  
is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and  
in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.

The Service Set Identifier or Network Name is used within IEEE 802.11  
networks to identify a particular network. It is usually set by the  
administrator setting up the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and  
will be unique within a BSS (Basic Service Set) or ESS (Extended  
Service Set). The SSID may be broadcast from an AP (Access Point)  
within the wireless network to enable Stations to determine which  
network to Associate with. However, this feature should be disabled  
as it may assist hackers, or wardrivers in gaining access to a  
private network.

128-bit works fine for me.. its WPA I could never get up and running. 
Its my understanding its not yet fully supported in 5.3-STABLE or 
5.4-PRERELEASE... but that its on its way.

I get the feeling that knowing what reason 25 means would help. Does
anyone know what that error message means?
