https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249709 ------- Comment #10 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-28 06:47 MST ------- Now this is really weird, there is a variable WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH in YaST /etc/sysconfig Editor (Hardware/Network/wlan-idxxxx). with possible values of 40 and 104. Changing this manually to any other value is not possible. When configuring the WLAN Card with YaST/Network Devices/Network Card there is a final step "Wireless Network Card Configuration" where WEP Keys can be configured. If this is set a dialogue opens "Wireless Keys", offering a key length of either 64 or 128. This value is then set into the WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH above, prohibiting association of any WEP based AP. When setting the length appropriately to 40 / 104 connection is possible without problem for the ipw3945, the orinoco still fails to get a lease. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249709 ------- Comment #11 from casualprogrammer@yahoo.com 2007-05-28 07:43 MST ------- Addenda: All of this fails to work if wireless keys are entered in YaST. It only works for the ipw3945 when all the variables WIRELESS_KEY to WIRELESS_KEY_3 are empty and WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH is set to the correct value for the AP ( 40/104 ) To corrupt the settings it suffices to enter the "Wireless Keys" dialogue and leave with accept without entering anything. The WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH will be set to 128 / 64 instead of 104 / 40. For the orinoco it works now also, but only if there is only one WEP Key configured in the AP ( I had all 4 configured ). Even Network Manager is now able to connect using WEP.

Is this dmesg from a successful or unsuccessful attempt to connect to the AP? Was that with or without WEP? If it was from an unsuccessful attempt with WEP key set: It seems you have an access to the AP. Can it list associated stations in its configuration interface? If yes, could you restore the previous setup, try to connect and check whether also your AP thinks that your orinoco card is associated? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This variable has two values for WEP 40 / 104 in /etc/sysconfig Editor and 64 / 128 from YaST/Network Devices/Network Card/Wireless Key. If set in one the other takes an invalid value.

As this is taking place on the Sony Vaio PCG-SRX51P with built in ORiNOCO card it's the only option except for unencrypted. When switching to a terminal and perusing /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-id-00:02:2d:5c:f5:ef, you find that WIRELESS_KEY_LENGTH is set to 164 which is incorrect. Setting it to 104 provides a wireless network connection as desired. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
