The file drivers/staging/wlan-ng/p80211wext.c contains the following code: (starting at line 1490 in a recent linux-next) if (!(ext->alg & IW_ENCODE_ALG_WEP)) { pr_debug("asked to set a non wep key :("); return -EINVAL; } The reference to IW_ENCODE_ALG_WEP seems to refer to the following definitions in include/linux/wireless.h /* struct iw_encode_ext ->alg */ #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_NONE 0 #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_WEP 1 #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_TKIP 2 #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_CCMP 3 #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_PMK 4 #define IW_ENCODE_ALG_AES_CMAC 5 But if the alg field returns true for a bit and with IW_ENCODE_ALG_WEP, then it would also return true for a bit and with IW_ENCODE_ALG_CCMP and IW_ENCODE_ALG_AES_CMAC. Is this what is intended, or should the test be encoded in another way? julia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
