Hi, I have configured my AP as open, then I could connect no problem. Seems that my problem is when I use wep and shared keys. Put my AP back with Wep, did the following mod to /etc/wlan/wlan.conf (configured my AP with new ascii key): #=======WEP=========================================== # [Dis/En]able WEP. Settings only matter if PrivacyInvoked is true lnxreq_hostWEPEncrypt=true # true|false lnxreq_hostWEPDecrypt=true # true|false dot11PrivacyInvoked=true # true|false dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0 # 0|1|2|3 dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true # true|false, in AP this means WEP is required. # If PRIV_GENSTR is not empty, use PRIV_GENTSTR to generate # keys (just a convenience) # add-ons/ in the tarball contains other key generators. PRIV_GENERATOR=/sbin/nwepgen # nwepgen, Neesus compatible PRIV_KEY128=false # keylength to generate PRIV_GENSTR="" # or set them explicitly. Set genstr or keys, not both. dot11WEPDefaultKey0=02:07:08:09:01:04:02:08:09:09:02:06:07 dot11WEPDefaultKey1= dot11WEPDefaultKey2= # e.g. 01:20:03:40:05 or dot11WEPDefaultKey3= # 01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d #=======SELECT STATION MODE=================== IS_ADHOC=n # y|n, y - adhoc, n - infrastructure #======= INFRASTRUCTURE STATION =================== # What kind of authentication? AuthType="sharedkey" # opensystem | sharedkey (requires WEP) #======= ADHOC STATION ============================ #BCNINT=100 # Beacon interval (in Kus) #CHANNEL=6 # DS channel for BSS (1-14, depends # on regulatory domain) #BASICRATES="2 4" # Rates for mgmt&ctl frames (in 500Kb/s) #OPRATES="2 4 11 22" # Supported rates in BSS (in 500Kb/s) But it does not seem to be in effect after I restart pcmcia and network, still iwconfig shows "Security mode:open", and I still have the following error in system log: Dec 30 12:15:59 linux kernel: wlan0: authentication failed (reason 13) for 00:05:5d:fa:ee:5e Do I have to put Wep related statements in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-pcmcia to make it work and if so, what is the syntax? Can someone send me a configuration example? Thanks in advance, Francois

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?
