Card uses WEP index 1 always, even if other index was set as active. Problem very similar to #275 in ipw2200. Examplary repro: - load driver - configure an AP to have static WEP active on key index 2 of value 2222222222 and ESSID alpa - perform command on Linux: iwconfig eth1 essid alpa key [2] key [2] 2222222222 key [1] off key [3] off key [4] off key restricted --> result - card uses WEP index 1 instead 2, which makes Authentication process unsuccessful
fixed in 0.59
the bug exists in .60 - checked exactly in the way shown in bug description
Needs retesting in 1.0.5, and need to document if still an issue.
Retested in 1.0.5 on FC3. Was able to associate to AP using Shared Authentication and WEP key index 2 active. Here are my steps: - Set AP to WEP with active key index 2 of value 2222222222 and essid salwan - loaded driver - iwconfig eth1 essid salwan key [2] key [2] 2222222222 key [1] off key [3] off key [4] off key restricted Tried the same steps above with key 4 being the active key. Worked too. Re-opening to mark as fixed.
Marking as fixed.
