I now seem to have most things sorted out now except passing the encryption key automatically. The link is made but I am unable to access the network.
If you drop a file in /etc/waproamd/keys/accesspointmacaddress.wep containing just the wep key then it'll automagically do that step for you.
I have to admit that I took that filename literally at first (blush) but realisation dawned later. However now that I have a file of the format 00:00:00:ab:cd:00.wep, containing the *correct key*, in /etc/ waproamd/keys it still doesn't work until I type iwconfig wlan0 key blahblahblah
Hmm, well, looking at my system, I've got a file called 00:0f:b5:15:5e:6c.wep, the script reads it and through magic I get a connection. The wep key needs to be formatted with no spaces and followed by a blank line, AFAICT, in the file. So, for example... - ---Start 00:00:00:ab:cd:00.wep--- 1A2B3C4D5E6F7A8B9C0D1E2F34 - --- End 00:00:00:ab:cd:00.wep--- Hope that helps, - -- Brett Parker web: http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/ email: iDunno@sommitrealweird.co.uk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCnKO6Eh8oWxevnjQRAl1/AJ9oEiSzjFI4h1TX81327o9D6xuRggCfWhRi jUIt/coMzuUL8sRoHazKFuk= =gPWq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
