YaST does not set WEP key correctly
Last modified: 2005-09-20 11:28:09 UTC
When using YaST to set up the WEP key for my wireless card (Linksys WPC 11 pcmcia card) the WEP key is not set up at all, as shown in iwconfig. I need to use iwconfig key to set up the key in a konsole, after which I get an ip address. You can log into my laptop if needed to test - I am novell staff.
Please attach y2logs, /var/log/messages and the output of "rcnetwork restart". http://www.opensuse.org/Bug_Reporting_FAQ#YaST
I think this bug should be marked as duplicate. It's the same issue than 115207 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=115207). Marc
We'll see once we have the logs.

Configuration is found, it contains the key, so I think the problem is in sysconfig or lower. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115207 ***
