Description of problem: I'm trying to take advantage of the WEP bits in anaconda, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have installed FC3t1 on this laptop and managed to get WEP working with the orinoco-driven PCMCIA wifi card. However, during install (and if I try a new install) I can't persuade anaconda to use my key. I choose NFS installation, and type in the ESSID and the encryption key (10 hex digits, just as I put in the 'KEY=' line of ifcfg-eth0), but it fails to get an IP address when using DHCP immediately after that. I can see from the AP log that it hasn't been allowed in. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040713173734 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot install image. 2. Choose NFS installation. 3. Tell it the wireless parameters. Actual results: Fails when trying to bring up network.
Committed something which should help a bit. Should be in rawhide tomorrow.
Created attachment 102279 [details] net.c-patch Nearly there, but it needs this patch too otherwise is_wireless_interface() fails further on.
I've checked in that change.
