Wlan but no WEP

[ron]

Hi,

i've managed to get my wlan usb card working on my laptop , using kubuntu with DHCP

But i can't get it working with WEP enabled.
I tried every settings possible (with asci enabled, without, passphrase , hexadecimal key et. etc)

Also tried: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid 'name'
sudo iwconfig key open "key" (xxxxxxx and even xxxxxxxxxx)

Even editing the /etc/network/interfaces file does'n t helped

please help!

Hi,

Did you try without the open keyword, I think it's useless as it would mean that you have no keys...

Cheers

Re: Wlan but no WEP

yes i've tried it also. with only the essid name.

my iwconfig shows the name of the essid like it should be.

Re: Wlan but no WEP

I meant only this :
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxxxxxx
And then dhclient wlan0

It's not working ?

Good luck

Re: Wlan but no WEP

then the following shows:
dhcpdiscover on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
etc 7
ect 10
etc 11 till 15
No dhcpoffers received.
no working leases in persistent database

strange? my netmask is 255.255.255.0

Re: Wlan but no WEP

This 255.255.255.255 is not really strange it's broadcasting address...
Anyway it seems to be not working...
In fact, I meant sudo dhclient wlan0 but I guess you got it like this.

If it's not working, I don't have more clue, sorry

Good luck

Re: Wlan but no WEP

Sorry to disappoint you but kwifimanager is in universe repository, maybe you should try to check if you well configured them (/etc/apt/sources.list)

See below :
Package: kwifimanager
Priority: optional
