hmm, please check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-<devicename> KEY=s:0xF6E2-B565-C0 so it doesn't seem to be recognizing the '0x' as hex and is treating it as a string? David Scriven well, well, you did not enter the hexstring correctly.. "-" are not part of a number :), ok, partly my fault. Just enter "0xF6E2B565C0" and all should be fine. Oops! that was stupid on my part - the WEP works now. However, the first problem remains - any attempt to alter the wireless settings results in the message (the example is for set mode Auto, so one can define the channel and rate) Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. Using iwconfig: "/sbin/iwconfig ath0 Auto" gives the same message so this is a problem with madwifi?? - or is Auto not a valid setting for certain cards? exactly... auto does not seem to be a valid setting for some cards :-/ Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you! Fedora Core 3 is not maintained anymore. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version. |
