I should have added this is FC7 Test 4

Comment 2 Trevor Campbell 2007-06-09 03:57:06 UTC
I use my laptop at 2 locations.  One has a Netgear access point that works well,
but I cannot connect at the other location that has a belkin access point.

After reloading the driver with debug turned on as
# modprobe iwl3945 debug=0x43fff
Try to bring up the network:
# ifup wlan0
I get in dmesg

iwl3945: REPLY_ADD_STA failed
wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:11:50:60:c9:0f
wlan0: RX authentication from 00:11:50:60:c9:0f (alg=0 transaction=2 status=0)

wlan0: AP denied association (code=12)
wlan0: association with AP 00:11:50:60:c9:0f timed out

Both access points are configured the same as Wep 64 and with the same key and
channel etc.

Belkin access point/router is "DSL/Cable gateway router" model F5D7230-4

Sorry again.  Forgot to mention I have upgraded to Fedora 7.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2008-04-04 00:21:14 UTC
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported
against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no
longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are
flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer
maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now,
we will automatically close it.

If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or
rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change
the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version
or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)

Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled
these issues to this point.

This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was
first requested. As a result we are closing it.

If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora
version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
