[driverloader] WMP11 v2.7

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

did you verify if it works without WEP?

in general, WEP problems can be fixed by one or a combination of these...

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 wireless-tools.

5) 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.

Hello, I'm trying to get the WMP v2.7 with WEP to work on Slackware 9.1
with kernel 2.6.0. I'm using the Belkin drivers.

If I execute "iwlist scan" I can see that the SSID is being broadcasted
from my access point.

Then I setup the wireless parameters using iwconfig..

iwconfig eth1 essid "mynet" key 7D9B-E4E1-18

I'm not entirely sure, but I thought that's all I need for wireless.  Then
I should be able to do something like:

dhcpcd -d eth1

However, that reports the MAC address of my wireless card, then hangs a
few seconds before returning to the prompt.  I tried setting the security
mode to both open and restricted, but it did not seem to make a
difference. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
