[wplug] WEP with RH 8.0

[Andreas Rindler]

Hey,
Thanks, I tried it in the script and in the console. It didn't work:

[root at Jodel root]# wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset
mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true message=dot11req_mibset
  mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
  resultcode=success
[root at Jodel root]# wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset
mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=XXXX mibattribute="data_string_too_short"
message=dot11req_mibset
  mibattribute=data_string_too_short
  resultcode=no_value
[root at Jodel root]# wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset
mibattribute-dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
mibattribute="argument_item_data_is_incomplete"
message=dot11req_mibset
  mibattribute=argument_item_data_is_incomplete
  resultcode=no_value
[root at Jodel root]#

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andi

You need to specify the WEP key before bringing up the interface. Something
like this should work (substitute your WEP key for KEY)

wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=KEY
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute-dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0

Hey,
I want to connect to a wireless router that uses WEP for encryption. I know
the SSID and the keys, but how to I connect? I have been using the following
code to connect to open networks:

	#! /bin/bash

	/sbin/modprobe prism2_pci

	/sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
	/sbin/wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=CMU authtype=opensystem
	/sbin/dhcpcd wlan0

Thanks,
Andi
