WG311T from Netgear + SUSE 9.1 WEP doesn't work


hi

I have wirelss card WG311T from Netgear installed on SUSE 9.1

It uses a Madwifi driver and without WEP works excellent.

I need WEP and it seems Madwifi doesn't support WEP !

if I try to change Security mode from open to restricted
with iwconfig and iwpriv, it doesn't work:
Code:
# iwconfig ath0 key restricted [1] 123456789
# iwconfig ath0 key [1] restricted
# iwpriv ath0 authmode 2
Invalid command : authmode
Code:
# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

ath0      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"myessid"  Nickname:"linux"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.457GHz  Access Point: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
          Bit Rate=1Mb/s   Tx-Power:off   Sensitivity=0/3
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:0123-4567-89   Security mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0/94  Signal level:-95 dBm  Noise level:-95 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0
knows some, what's wrong or Madwifi doesn't support WEP ?

Check out http://madwifi.sourceforge.net/dokuw...hp?id=how_do_i and see if it helps any. AFAIK, madwifi does support WEP and WPA.
