Description Kevin Williams 2005-09-04 18:51:05 UTC

I have an old cisco and a newer D-Link (ndiswrapper). I have used both cards in
other Linux installs. When I set my essid and wep key, the configuration is
saved but the output of iwconfig does not reflect the settings.

How to reproduce: access point requires key, essid broadcast turned off. Enter
essid and wep key in YaST2. Run iwconfig to verify key and essid are not set and
access point is not known.

Please attach /var/log/messages and /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-* (you  
can disguise you WEP key).

Adjusting priority to `Critical'.

Comment 4 Joachim Gleissner 2005-09-05 15:13:18 UTC

Forget /var/log/messages, ifup does not log to it by default on beta4. Please  
attach 'rcnetwork status' ouput instead.

Reducing severity to `major'.

Comment 10 Joachim Gleissner 2005-09-06 11:51:41 UTC

Please add PREFER_WPA_SUPPLICANT='no' to the ifcfg-file for your D-Link, this 
should fix it. RC1 already has the fix.

Comment 11 Kevin Williams 2005-09-08 02:59:16 UTC

Yes, that fixed it for me. Thanks!
