 |
|
I have the wlan card configured and working, however when I try to set a wep key using iwconfig, I get the following error:
| Code: |
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not supported.
|
I have similiar issues when I try to connect to WPA protected network with wpa_supplicant.
I have installed the ieee80211 base package as well as the ipw3945d, ipw3945-ucode, and ipw3945 packages with portage. If I understand this error correctly it seems that somewhere along the line I am missing support for WEP/WPA.
I am really ripping my hair out on this one, any help is appreciated!!

| I have this card, you just need to modprobe the ieee80211_crypt_wep as well. Without that loaded, the wireless card doesn''t know how to handle WEP. You might wanna do a modprobe -l and load all the modules for the ieee80211 since the crypt_wep is obviously only for wep encryption, the others I'm assuming are for WPA but since I can't use that in my house I haven't tested it yet. Hope that helps ya. |
