I'm unable to connect wireless networks with 64bit wep (8 letter ASCII) using OpenSuSE 11 with GNOME and the wlan-card is Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 a/g/n. Trying to connect with GNOME NetworkManager and iwconfig with no success. Is it possible to configure NetworkManager to use 64b WEP encyption? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Is it possible to configure NetworkManager to use 64b WEP encyption? Why would you want to use 64 (actually 40 bit) WEP? It's so insecure as to be almost useless. Is there any reason why you can't use WPA?

This is when using public wireless network (I am using wpa at home of course) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Already known in bugzilla. Try to use the key as hex. Best regards Jan-Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Back when I was using WEP, I'd use "ps aux|md5sum". This generates 128 bits, so just take what you need and leave the rest. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
