Re: How to connect to a WPA network that uses 10 hexadecimal digits as password
Instructions of the hotel are the following SSID: STI WiFi key: a531bc531d PC: Network Key MAC: WPA 10 digits Could you try turning off NM, killing wpa_supplicant, and using 'iwconfig' to association with WEP instead? killall -TERM NetworkManager killall -TERM wpa_supplicant iwconfig wlan0 key a531bc531d essid STI WiFi you might need to try the iwconfig a few times; then if you do an 'iwconfig' on its own, look for the AP: address to be valid, and if it does, try dhclient. If that doesn't work, there are a few things with wpa_supplicant we can try. Dan I tried this but iwconfig says it is not associated with the accesspoint.

As far as 10 digit hex, are you sure it is not a WEP 64 hex key because that would fit the description better. As far as I know, a WPA-PSK setup can also use a full 256 byte key specified via 64 ASCII hex chars ( which is why the passphrase can only be 63 chars in length ).

However if I use NetworkManager it doesn't. If I look at the password that's actually being stored by NetworkManager I a hexadecimal number that is much larger. I'm assuming that's the hash of the password I'm entering. However I think in this case it should not take the hash but use the 10 digit hexadecimal number directly. Is this possible in NetworkManager? Are my assumptions correct? (I've never seen this WPA with a 10digit hexadecimal password before) Thanks Jaap Yes it is possible. Are you sure you are entering it as a hex numver not aas a passphrase ot Asci string. Is the stored passwd filled with ascii number representations which would make it longer. I'm not entering the it as a hex numver, because I don't know how to do this. I don't see an option for that. I've just tried prefixing the hex password with with 0x, but that also does not work Jaap ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

It should work the same way with Linux with that 10 character string as the shared key. Has your system worked elsewhere with WPA1? In particular, is wpa_supplicant installed on your system? Does /var/log/NetworkManager yield any relevant info? ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
