Hello
I am working on a WLAN client on an embedded system and I am facing a
problem using WEP. I am using the b43 driver with a BCM43222 mini-pci
card and kernel 3.10.55.
The card works fine with WPA and without encryption. Using WEP results
in a weird situation where dhcp requests can be sent across the wireless
link, but a dhcp reply is never received.
The only error I could come up with is
AP# ip link set wlan0 up
AP# iw event -f &
AP# iw wlan0 connect scoobly keys 0:abcdefghijklm
<<Snip>>
[ 417.886167] b43 ssb0:0 wlan0: failed to set key 0
Does the key have to be hexadecimal for iw, and is yours? A lot of WEP
APs will generate a hex key from a passphrase, but (from what I
remember), linux requires the actual hex key. This is just from hazy
memory as the last time I used WEP without a gui controller (or even
with) was years ago.
