Hi,
I use driverloader 1.6.4 successfully on my sony Z1 notbook with Intel
Pro/Wireless 2200BG WLAN under SuSE 9.0. However it only works *without* WEP
encryption. I would be very happy if you could help me to get WEP up and
running.
Whenever I set the WEP key via iwconfig, e.g.
iwconfig wlan0 essid broecheler.de channel 6 mode Managed rate 11M key
0123456789
then I find error events in /var/log/warn

According to this, the configuration of the key does not work in the Windows
driver. On the other hand when I look at interface config via iwconfig, the
key is there:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"broecheler.de" Nickname:"unknown"
Mode:Managed Bit Rate=54Mb/s
RTS thr=1600 B Fragment thr=2304 B
Encryption key:0123-4567-89
Power Management:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Nevertheless the DHCP client can not obtain an adress (without encryption it
works).
I have tried this with original drivers that where installed on the
notebook,
w22n51 Intel 11/26/2003,8.0.11.0
as well as a newer version that I found on the web:
w22n51 Intel 01/02/2004,8.0.12.9000
Both do not work.
Any idea?
Thanks for your help
Stefan
