Are your cards capable of using 128 bit keys as per your config file?
According to the manual, they are.
What happens if you use iwconfig to set the key? (This is a 64 (40) bit key)
iwconfig [interface] key 0A0A-0A0A-0A
# iwconfig wlan0 key 0a0a-0a0a-0a Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Function not implemented. I think this is because the linux-wlan drivers don't interface correctly with iwconfig (they're read only) -- they use their own setup utilities wlanctl-ng and wlancfg . The command "wlancfg show wlan0" seems to confirm what's in my configuration files... amongst it's output is: dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable1=true dot11AuthenticationAlgorithmsEnable2=false dot11PrivacyInvoked=true dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0 dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true p2CnfWEPDefaultKeyID=0 p2CnfWEPFlags=0,1,4,7 p2CnfAuthentication=0 p2CnfRoamingMode=1 which seems to correspond to WEP and security... now does this mean the actual connection is encrypted? The linux-wlan FAQ mentions in passing host-based WEP -- which I assume is done in the driver, not in the nic hardware. Maybe this is why it's not showing with iwconfig... more experimentation needed, methinks. Thanks for your help, Jason
