I have a broadcom wireless onboard my compaq presario and am having trouble getting wep to be enabled.
| Code: | lappy win # lspci | grep BCM
0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
lappy win # ndiswrapper -l
Installed ndis drivers:
netbc564 driver present, hardware present
lappy win # modprobe -l | grep ndis
/lib/modules/2.6.12-gentoo-r9/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
lappy win # iwlist wlan0 s

Everything looks good so far,
/etc/conf.d/wireless:
| Code: | essid_wlan0="boxofdeath"
mode_wlan0="auto"
adhoc_essid_wlan0="boxofdeath"
channel_wlan0="6"
key_boxofdeath="open s:xxxxssssxxxxxssssxxxxsssxx"
config_boxofdeath=( "dhcp" )

| Code: | lappy win # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 restart

And I cannot get beyond this, is there anyone out there that has this broadcom card working with a WEP key? |
