Status of Intel 2200BG and WEP in Feisty?

[mariner]

The last time I checked it wasn't possible to do wireless networking in Feisty, with the Intel Pro 2200BG wireless and WEP.

Has this been fixed?

If it has, where can I find how to make it work?

Hi,

Mine is working out of the box with feisty and gutsy with WEP.
What was your trouble ?

I have a Thinkpad T43p, and wireless without encryption works out of the box.

With WEP, I have not been able to make it work. I've searched the forums here and tried all the kludges described, but none works on my system.

I can connect by booting to Redmondware, so I know it's not a hardware problem. I know what the key is, and I know it's hex rather than ASCII.

Hi,

In fact I've always configured everything from the file /etc/network/interfaces.
So first, I've done it to be able to connect without WEP :

auto <interface_name>
iface <interface_name> inet dhcp
wireless-essid <name_of_network>

Made a try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
It was working, so I've changed settings to Wep on the router and added this line to the file at the bottom of previous section

wireless-key <key>

Then made a new try : sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
And it was working.

Hope it helps
