[Madwifi-users] Problem, i can't turn on WEP key.

[bugtraq <bu...@ot...>]

Hey all,=20
I have a wireless PCMCIA card with madwifi driver installed...
I tried to turn on WEP encryption to my wireless card

# iwconfig ath0 key key-in-hex-mode=20
                        or
# iwconfig ath0 key s:key-in-ascii-mode=20

And i have the following problem:

Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A)
Set failed on device ath0 ; invalid argument

after this error, i tried insert my key in ifcfg-ath0 file in =
network-scripts
and i restart my network... but i still have the same prob...
I tried to test without encryption and works!
I dont know what else to do :(=20

Here are some infos about my card:
# cardctl ident
