 |
|
i have a sony vaio pcg-tr2a centrino laptop. ipw2100 emerged fine, and i have the following modules set to load on boot (and they do, cleanly):
| Code: | ipw2100
hostap
hostap_pci
hostap_pcx
hostap_crypt_wep
hostap_crypt_ccmp
hostap_crypt_tkip
hostap_cs
ieee80211
ieee80211_crypt
ieee80211_crypt_wep
ieee80211_crypt_ccmp
ieee80211_crypt_tkip
|
i can connect normally and with ease to unencrypted networks as follows,
| Code: |
iwconfig eth2 mode Managed essid <foo>;
ifconfig eth2 up;
dhcpcd eth2;
|
however, when i try to connect to a wepped network, by modifying the iwconfig line to be
| Code: |
iwconfig eth2 mode Managed essid <foo> key <HEXKEY>
|
the result is that dhcpcd times out and no connection is established.
why is this happening? my kernel is properly configured for wireless, because if it wasn't, i couldn't connect. hostap and assorted other modules load properly on boot, so that shouldn't be an issue.
The only thing i can come up with is that dhcpcd requires some obscure options, but man dhcpcd doesn't give me any that are helpful... so i'm pretty much at a standstill.
any suggestions? |
