WaveLAN WEP Support in Linux
This page is about using WEP with the WaveLAN and RoamAbout PC Cards in Linux. A separate page about WaveLAN/RoamAbout basic configuration is available.
WEP Parameters
WEP is configured via the WaveLAN/IEEE driver parameters. These are specified in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file. Please refer tot he WaveLAN/RoamAbout basic configuration for information about specifying parameters.
- enable_encryption
- Set this parameter to y to enable encryption, n to disable encryption.
- key_1, key_2, key_3, key_4
- These are the WEP encryption keys for the wireless network. You probably need to obtain the keys from your network administrator. You specify the value as an ASCII string of 5 characters, or a 10 digit hex string preceded by 0x (eg, 0x123456789a).
- transmit_key_id
- This is the key to use for transmitting. Again, you need to get this from your network administrator.
