[Madwifi-users] [BUG] No open network after WEP

[Jerry Q. <jl...@op...>]

At work, we have dynamic WEP that I connect to using
xsupplicant and EAP-TLS. Connecting involves setting
the essid and a dummy key, with key open. If I later
come home and attempt to connect to my home router with
WEP disabled, the driver cannot connect. I am setting
essid to either linksys or any, key off, with the same
results.

Removing and reinserting the driver module clears up
the problem at home and I can then connect fine.
