From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I'm unable to join an 802.11b wireless network which is setup with a WEP key in shared (vs. open) mode using the orinoco_cs driver. "restricted\ 12345678" is set as the key through system-config-network, but the PC is still not admitted to the network; tweaking settings with iwconfig doesn't have any effect. In this case it's a Dell Truemobile 1150 mini-PCI card (which is a re-badged orinoco card) in an IBM X31 Thinkpad. iwconfig reports that it cannot find the access point (access point is reported as 44:44:44:44:44:44 The problem seems to be in the orinoco kernel drivers; details can be found in these posts to the orinoco lists: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6476623 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5682010 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6505887 Downloading, compiling, and installing version 0.15rc2 of the orinoco drivers from: http://www.ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/ seems to fix the problem. These have not yet been merged into the mainline kernel, it would appear (looks like v0.13d is in the current fedora kernel). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set wireless card to join a WEP encrypted network with a shared key 2. Bring wireless device up 3. Actual Results: PC is unable to join wireless network; it seems as though it cannot find the access point. Expected Results: PC should join the wirless network. Additional info:
