Thanks Jouni. I made changes to following wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1

network={
    ssid="CsrTestWireless"
    key_mgmt=NONE
    wep_key0=123456789A
    wep_tx_keyidx=0
}

I use the wpa socket to talk to the wpa, it got following error:

<2>Trying to associate with 00:1b:2f:4d:86:5e (SSID='CsrTestWireless'
freq=2417)

<2>Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.

However, if I use the "iwconfig eth1 enc 123456789A", that works. Am I
missing anything in wpa_supplicant configuration or the version of
wpa_supplicant 0.5.8 I used may not support WEP?

PS: Please see following WEP set up in my NetGear AP:

Security Options: WEP

Security Encryption:
Authentication Type: Automatic
Encryption Strength: 64 bit

Security Encryption (WEP) Key:
Passphrase:   (Blank, I did not set it up)

Key 1: 123456789A

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jim
