Hey, I am trying to setup SUSE 9 Professional on my wireless network at home. I am unsure of the proper setup though. We are using the following setup:
ESS Auth: Pre-Shared Key Encryption: WEP128 Key Input Method: Pass Phrase
I have two keys which the WAP provided me. How do I get this working on SUSE 9? I've tried putting the pass phrase and the encryption keys into YaST, but none of them are working. Any insight?
Try using hex keys. Apparently there is some variation when text phrases are used.
Yes, if you want to use text phrases, you had to set "s:" before your keyword: "s:password".
would WIRELESS_KEY='4XX007091922XXX403X27X0XXX' be a hex or would it need a s:?
A Hex-Code consists only of this values: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,a,b,c,d,e,f (or A,B,C,D,E,F). Because "X" doesn't fit to this values, I think, it is an Ascii-Value. So You had to set "s:...." to your WEP. You had to set your ESSID (the name, of your wireless-net, you had set in your router) and the mode: I had set "repeater" for my router. Then you can use "wavemon" for controlling, if your card has contact to your net and so on... Greetings, Andreas
