[Yann Garcia]

Hello,

 

I use the version 0.5.6 of wpa_supplicant.

wpa_supplicant v0.5.6

In a first time, I also thought that it was about a problem of. But in this
case, it won?t work with WZC?

 

Thanks again for your help,

 

Best regards,

 

Yann

Hi all,

Which version of wpa_supplicant are you using?

Sounds like the driver did not understand how the WEP key was configured
or it dropped it for some reason.

Hi all,

 

I?ve got a problem and I don?t really understand what happening. I want to
connect my Windows client (Netgear WG111v2) to my hotspot (WEP secured).

A Linux box with Hostapd/Chillispot/Radius works as an access point.

The Windows XP client uses wpa_supplicant to establish the connection.

 

Here is my problem:

*	Without WEP, all works fine;
*	With WEP, the access point never receive the DHCP Discover request
(tcpdump doesn?t see any packet on the wlan0 interface) but (it?s strange!)
I can see (ethereal on windows) the DHCP Discover packets sent on the client
interface. In the /var/log/messages, I can see that the association is
established by hostapd.

 

So I don?t really understand what happening.

 

The configuration seems to be ok because I can connect my client to the
hotspot (with WEP enable) using WZC.

 

Please anyone can help me?

 

Thanks a lot for your help,

 

Yann
