[Wirelessdriver-support] Wep, old Appletalk not working w/ RoamAbout card

[Bark of D. <bar...@ya...>]

Hi there,

I have installed the wireless driver and it's working 
quite well, thankyouverymuch. There are two things
that might make it better for me....

I'm running a Wallstreet w/ OS 10.2.8 and I ran into
the 
same problem reported by Andrew Gallatin back in
December '02.

For those of you who don't remember, it has to do with
wep and a RoamAbout card. In short, it doesn't work.
He theorized some sort of race condition.

One reply to that email was this:

...referring to a potential fix. Rob, are you out
there still?
Is this fix available, or possibly available? Or is
the consensus
that WEP is a waste of time? In the meantime, I'm
using a
"Closed Network" -- does that really protect me?


On a probably unrelated topic, I have another machine
running
OS 8.6. That machine is plugged into my Airport Base
Station via ethernet.

When I turn Appletalk sharing on both machines, the
OS 8 machine can see the OS X machine, but the OS X
machine doesn't see the OS 8 machine's shared disks.

Is this because the driver only supports "TCP/IP" type

of Appletalk traffic? Is this something that the
non-free
wireless driver might solve?

Thanks for any and all help,

Bark!
