Trouble with ipw3945, plain WEP

[Scott Gifford]

Hello,

I'm trying to use wpa_supplicant with my Intel ipw3945 built-in
wireless card.  The network I'm connecting to uses plain WEP, but I'd
like to use Network Manager, which requires the use of wpa_supplicant.

I can configure my wireless card just fine with WEP and iwconfig.  I
get something like this:

    eth1  IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"MYESSID"  Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 00:0D:0B:4A:85:07   
          Bit Rate:24 Mb/s   Tx-Power:14 dBm   
          Retry limit:15   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:1234-ABCD-00   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality=59/100  Signal level=-72 dBm  Noise level=-73 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:248  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:9151   Missed beacon:0

I have this in my wpa_supplicant.conf file:

    network={
            ssid="any"
            key_mgmt=NONE
    }
    
    network={
            ssid="MYESSID"
            scan_ssid=1
            priority=5
            key_mgmt=NONE
            wep_key0=1234ABCD00
            wep_key1=1234ABCD00
            wep_key2=1234ABCD00
            wep_key3=1234ABCD00
            wep_tx_keyidx=0
    }

When I run wpa_supplicant, I get an "authentication timeout":

    State: SCANNING -> ASSOCIATING
    wpa_driver_wext_set_operstate: operstate 0->0 (DORMANT)
    WEXT: Operstate: linkmode=-1, operstate=5

I'm not quite sure what the next step is in troubleshooting this.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks!
