wireless wep/wpa key using Linux
Hi,
I have a Dell D630 on which I installed Centos 5.2 64bits. Everything is working beautifully except for the wireless.
Actually, let me rephrase by saying that wireless witout any WPA/WEP key (unsecured) works no problem.
I followed instructions:
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/Wireless/Truemobile_ndiswrapper
Prior to that I downloaded the driver for '1350 WLAN MiniPCI/PC Card'
iwconfig wlan0 gives me:
[root@merovingian ~]# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I tried different thing (installing different drivers, playing with 'wpa_supplicant' ... nothing really works. I have 2 other windows machines here with no problem to connect to my home wireless network.
I also read that there is indeed issues on Linux using ndiswrapper (at least on Ubuntu forums) but I got no straightforward solution yet.
Anyhow, I was wondering if someone faced the same issue and would share with me.
Thanks guys !
Laurent
