| Can anyone help?
I am having trouble getting WEP to work on my RH Linux 9 laptop.
I am using a 128bit key, for example 9B42BB5A175A0013EC3DEBCC6B
I know that my hardware supports 128bit keys because it works fine on my XP
hard drive that I have for the same laptop.
(eth0 is my wireless network card)
The Linux setup works fine until the WEP is enabled. I have tried using the
GUI network utility which says I must put 0x in front of the key i.e.
0x9B42BB5A175A0013EC3DEBCC6B
But it still doesn't work; I have also tried entering the key without the 0x
with the same result.
I read on a newsgroup that the GUI doesn't work correctly and you have to
edit the /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 file and change the
line:
KEY=s:
To
KEY=9B42BB5A175A0013EC3DEBCC6B
I have also tried
KEY=s:9B42BB5A175A0013EC3DEBCC6B
And
KEY=0x9B42BB5A175A0013EC3DEBCC6B
Am I just doing something wrong here or will this just not work?
I am using a Netgear MA401 wireless card and a Netgear MR814 router
Thanks
Steve.
