There's some support for shared key authentication in the kernel, but it was disabled in sys/net80211/ieee80211_input.c rev 1.14: Disable shared key mode until we have a way for the user to specify that they explicitly want it. What we have currently doesn't seem to work anyway. Add support for specifying a status type when sending managemnent frames; adapted from FreeBSD. OK jsg@

Not all Wifi NICs work. wpi is newish, as well, iirc, so you'll have less luck with it. I have a ath that is detected and configured but simply won't connect. Post to the list what the exact version and revision of the wpi card you're using are. -Nick

Yes, you are right! That is the problem! The system was configured with shared key, I changed that to open system and now it works. (sorry I'm a wireless novice) Is that a known isssue that shared key doesn't work or is this normal? thanks didier - Original Message - From: John L.
