I ran into the same problem. Apparently Dan fixed it in Rawhide today : wpa_supplicant-1:0.4.8-10.fc6 ----------------------------- * Thu Apr 27 2006 Dan Williams <dcbw> - 0.4.8-10 - Add fix for madwifi and WEP (wpa_supplicant/hostap bud #140) (#rh190075#) - Fix up madwifi-ng private ioctl()s for r1331 and later - Update madwifi headers to r1475 Indeed it was fixed. I got the rawhide source and compile it on my (pretty standard) fc5 installation: now Madwify svn revision 1531 with WEP and NetworkManager work like a charme (it just took me some time to understand that I had to start /etc/init.d/dhcdbd) My opinion is that you could push it to fc5-update-testing. does it really needs dhcdbd ? I don't have it but it works OK... the only thing I did was to start wpa_supplicant *before* network.. Well, I do not know really. I just noticed that after having updated wpa_supplicant connection failed, but with a different message, that is Apr 29 02:03:58 mirto NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_dhcp_manager_get_state_for_d evice (): dhcdbd not running! Apr 29 02:04:11 mirto NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_dhcp_manager_begin_transacti on (): dhcdbd not running! So I started dhcdbd and then it started to work. Is it me who have a weird configuration? FWIW (and i've only tested with one accessoint so far) - Using madwifi svn version 1552 (today), wpa_supplicant-0.4.8-10.fc5 and NetworkManager-0.6.2-2.fc5 things appear to be working nicely. I've tried unencrypted, WEP- and WPA encrypted against a 3Com 3CRWE454G72 accesspoint. Everything worked like a charm! |
