In my case I can send and receive, but suddenly the net stops working.
If I set the key again the net comes up again. It is as if the key gets
lost...
I tried that long key in resricted mode and that behaviour show up. But
I've been running with that key in open mode for almost 10 minuts now!
That's the first time. I only tried with 40bits key before, either in
open and restricted mode.
Anyway I seem not to be able to set the key from a script. iwconfig
shows the key set but anly when setting it from console with iwconfig
wlan0 key open aaaa-... I get the connection.
That'0s the script
#!/bin/bash
modprobe ndiswrapper
loadndisdriver 8086 1043 /lib/windrivers/w70n51.sys
/lib/windrivers/w70n51.inf
sleep 1
/usr/local/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 key open aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aa
sleep 1
/usr/local/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid andrea
ifconfig wlan0 10.0.7.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 10.0.7.1

I tried setting the key twice, with sleep and not...
That's wierd, I know, but the only way to get the key working... I'm
amazed...Is there a possible explanation?

Your wireless settings seems to be correct. You should be able to
configure interface.

Your network configuration seems to be wrong, though. Why is the
gateway localhost? Set the default route to gateway.

OK, I've done some more testing on this:

I did a test ping to a linux PC (192.168.0.99), from my laptop (manual address
set to 192.168.0.98). tcpdump -i wlan0 shows the ARP request being passed to
that interface however tcpdump -i eth0 on the target machine shows no data
being recieved.

Turn WEP off, and the ping is successful... :(

The key is set successfully, and works under XP. As posted before, cat
/proc/net/ndiswrapper/wlan0/wep shows the correctly set key, and as soon as I
enter the correct key, the interface picks up the ESSID. Remove the key or
change to an incorrect key and the ESSID is lost...

At 1:25 AM +0000 1/14/04, Scott Bye spoke thusly:

I believe NDIS does not have a function to ask the driver for the 
currently set key. I also seem to remember that code was introduced 
in ndiswrapper to remember this key in the wrapper so that when linux 
asks for the current key, it can be reported.
Unfortunately that means that the fact that the proc file system 
reports the correct key does not necessarily mean that the driver 
accepted it and successfully communicated with the AP.
