Re: [Ndiswrapper-general] Centrino WEP connection drops

Hello,

No, the WEP key is still set, and the essid is there after ifconfig down and 
ifconfig up So
# ip link set wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan enc <key>
# ip link set wlan0 down
# ip link set wlan0 up

leads to a working connection

If the card disconnects the way many users describe, the key is still correct, 
but the essid is lost and the card does not re-associate. Today I noticed 
that setting the Key again without re-loading the module does not work. I can 
send a debug output tomorrow.
The command sequence that leads to a broken connection is:

# modprobe ndiswrapper
# loadndisdriver driver.sys driver.inf		(or loadndisdriver with the version 
giri mailed to me)
#iwconfig wlan enc/key key restricted
#ifconfig up or #dhcpcd

This works for 10 secounds, long enough to get a IP with dhcp. The connection 
is also dropped when just doing a ifconfig up.
Transfering something, I tried a ping, does not prevent the connection from 
beeing dropped.

I have not testet Giris patch, I'll try tomorow
