Hi,

I have just installed Suse 9 on a new laptop. I have a wireless network,
requiring 128 bit encryption with HEX key, a D-link Di-624 access point.
The Wifi net is of “Managed” type. I have 3 windoze station working on it
no problems.

On the laptop, I have a PCMCIA D-Link (DWL-G650) card, that seems to work,
respond to some iwconfig commands but won't connect.

I see the following error in /var/log/messages:

Dec 23 21:43:14 linux kernel: wlan0: authentication failed (reason 13) for
00:05:5d:fa:ee:5e

00:05:5d:fa:ee:5e is my access point address, so at least that works :-)

Here is the content of /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia (key :

BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK='yes'
MTU=''
REMOTE_IPADDR=''
STARTMODE='hotplug'
UNIQUE='B35A.JnyZfOi_o6B'
WIRELESS_ESSID='alarm07'
WIRELESS_KEY='shared 72ed847ce25cc8667bb87a4d2d'
WIRELESS_MODE='Managed'
WIRELESS_NICK='whoami5'
WIRELESS_NWID=''
WIRELESS_FREQ=''
WIRELESS_CHANNEL="9"
WIRELESS_PEERDNS='no'

Tried to force that config manually with iwconfig commands, same results...


Any ideas?
