I'm trying to set up my wireless NIC (Netgear WG511) to connect to the internet through my wireless route (Netgear WGR614). When I set up the router, I choose the 128-bit WEP key feature. To my chagrin, Windows XP works well with the WG511, but I prefer FreeBSD. I tried to give my WEP key to ifconfig, which does not work. %ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.3 broadcast 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid YADA channel 11 wepmode on wepkey abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ndis0: set wepkey failed: 19 ndis0: set wepkey failed: 19 ifconfig: string too long ndis0: set wepkey failed: 19 Other than using a 64-bit key, is there some way to force FreeBSD to work? -- SteveReceived on Tue Nov 16 2004 - 23:35:18 UTC
