please try the update from: http://people.redhat.com/harald/redhat-config-network Greetings, I have installed the updates provided and we are a step closer, but still not completely where we should be. The card still does not get the wireless key set before trying to configure the network settings, thus no network connection is ever made. As a workaround, I have simply made the rc.local file run iwconfig for me to set the WEP key and all works fine. So, this new version still doesn't seem to get that step right. Thanks, David hmm, this is the job of the network initscripts. They define the ordering. Please attach your config file. Thanks for the help.... but I reported this issue on 2003-05-21 it is now 2004-07-29 and I have moved along to Fedora Core 2, since. And as RH9 is deprecated at this point, I am not sure why any resources are being allocated to this issue. Does it work in FC2? I selected desktop install instead of laptop... so a lot of things needed to be customized afterwards... I assume that is because I selected the 'wrong' install option. As such, I am not sure if this is still outstanding or not in FC2. OK, please reopen if it persists at a later point. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The networking administration tool 'neat' does not configure the wireless key; despite having a field to enter it into. Thus, I cannot activate the card without running 'iwconfig eth1 key KEYDATA' before activating the device in 'neat'. It would also be nice if the device could really work upon boot rather than having to enter neat to enable it. Sure, I could write up some shell scripts to fix this... but then why do we have a tool for it? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'neat' 2. Activate the wireless card with a WEP key (this step will fail) 3. type '/sbin/iwconfig' and note that the wireless key is not enabled Actual Results: The wireless card was not connected to the network. Expected Results: The wireless card should have been connected to the network. Additional info: The WEP key is a 104bit WEP key The wireless card is a Lucent Technologies 'Orinoco Gold' model
