[Madwifi-users] Setting up an AP with no encryption

[Alastair M. <amc...@go...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm using madwifi 0.9.4 on ubuntu intrepid with an Atheros 5212 pcmcia card.

I'm trying to set up an access point with no encryption and I'm running into
some difficulties.

The steps I have taken are as follows:

sudo modprobe ath_pci autocreate=ap
sudo iwconfig ath1 essid "test"
sudo iwconfig ath1 channel 1
sudo iwconfig ath1 key off

>From a client machine I can associate with this ap using iwconfig.
However, when I use NetworkManager on Intrepid, it asks me for an
authentication method, and the usual drop down list is empty!

Am I missing a step in the process?

Best regards,

Alastair
