[driverloader] WEP and LinkSys WMP11 (2.7)

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

it depends on which distribution you have. With RedHat, then you can try the
RPM from Fedora, but I think it also has version 15 of the wireless
extensions. However, it is more recent than the latest "wireless-tools"
package supplied for RedHat.

You should also try the following.

1) Use the latest release of DriverLoader.

2) Make sure the AP uses the same WEP settings as the adapter. Sometimes it
is necessary to force "open" or "restricted" mode on both the AP and the
adapter.

3) Upgrade the NDIS driver. You might even need to use a Windows XP driver
from another vendor if it is newer and modify the INF file to add your
adapter's PCI ID (e.g. Belkin usually supplies the latest driver for
Broadcom based cards).

4) Upgrade the AP's firmware.

If all of the above is unsuccessful, please run "dldrconfig --dumpdiag" from
a root shell and send us the file generated in '/tmp' at
support at linuxant.com.

Hi again!
Finally got around the XP driver block - honestly, I was wondering
what XP had to do with this <sheepish grin>.  At any rate, I can get the
card to operate in non-WEP mode, but as soon as I place the AP in WEP, I
lose connection.  I *think* I have entered my WEP code in properly for
the adapter.  Once again, here's the data . . . .

I have noticed that I keep getting an error: "Warning: Driver for device
eth1 has been compiled with version 16 of Wireless Extension, while this
program is using version 15. Some things may be broken..."  Have looked
all over for a newer version without success.  Do you guys have any
ideas?  (of course you do)

Thanks in advance
