WEP problems with wpa_supplicant

I am really a noob when it comes to networking in general, so help me out here. I'm unable to reconnect to the local unsecure WEP thing when I leave the area I have a signal. I end up having to reboot just to get it working again...

Have a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG thing...using iwlwifi.

Thanks, if ever.

I don't know what I'm saying...lol.

It's a "Static WEP" I believe. In anycase, connecting is not a problem, the problem is reconnection.

Okay,

How are you managing your wireless connection?

Are you using anything like iwcd, wpa_supplicant, networkmanager, or ifplugd ??

If you are not sure, then we should probably take a look at your /etc/conf.d/net file.

Before you post it, you might want to look through it and see if there are any passphrases and/or keys you may want to obfuscate before you make it public.

Edit: I guess I should have read the topic. Are you using wpa_supplicant alone or with any of the other tools I asked about?
