[Madwifi-users] DLink DWL-G520 + madwifi + WEP

[Ash C. <as...@ne...>]

I have a DLink DWL-G520 wireless network card running on a Gentoo Linux 
system. I can get it to work correctly when I have WEP turned off on my 
router, but as soon as I turn on WEP, it stops working. I created a small 
script to help with my testing, and I am pretty sure it is configuring the 
wireless card correctly.

The script is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
DEVICE="ath0"
ESSID="newthink.net"
KEY="1234567890"   # I have obfuscated this key on purpose.
CHANNEL=1

iwconfig $DEVICE key $KEY [1]
iwconfig $DEVICE key [1] open
iwconfig $DEVICE key on
iwconfig $DEVICE channel $CHANNEL
iwconfig $DEVICE essid $ESSID
iwconfig $DEVICE rate 54M
iwconfig $DEVICE mode Managed


I also changed my channel from 6 to 1 as per the hints on a Fedora mailing 
list (they said WEP will only work with channel 1, I don't understand why 
that is but they seemed to get their card working so...)

I am currently using the madwifi-driver-0.1_pre20040726.ebuild but I have 
also tried with the most recent version from CVS (as of last night).

Any help would be great, I have been trying to get this to get for the 
past two weeks, and as you can expect I am quite frustrated.
