[CentOS] Wifi WEP / Cisco aironet wireless internal card 802.11b
Hi, I have a IBM ThinkPat T30 a Cisco Aironet wireless internal in the laptop 802.11b only. It works great with open Acess points, but when i try to connect to encripted ones. I got the dialog box asking for the passphrase 128 bit, I enter it and after that i receive the dialog box again! Maybe my card do not support WEP or I am doing something wrong? Here is part of what i can see on /var/log/messages thanks!

However, make sure that is what you are using, cause it won't support WPA. As a side note, I have noticed some WEP incompatibility between different manufacturers when using WEP keys longer than 54 bits. That also might be your problem.> Here is part of what i can see on /var/log/messagesYou might want to check if the driver has any debug options. - -- Rodrigo Barbosa "Quid quid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur" "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE265npdyWzQ5b5ckRAs+fAKCmSpEiey16knwZ+2HYmVf7ntua1wCZAWgi zoHsVRr+6Clea5+g96S2H1o=405q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
