State Changed From-To: open->closed I happened to encounter the missing WEP example independently, and committed one to the man page. Thanks for the patch anyway. |
I just moved from 6.0BETA-1 to 6.0-BETA5 and finally switched from my old crufty setting of WEP keys and stuff in the ifconfig_ath0 line to a WPA and DHCLIENT based setup. I couldn't find any mention of how to configure wpa_supplicant for simple wep keys, although it's gone by on the mailing list a bunch of times. Seems like it should be in the docs. Having it written down might head off a bunch of headaches and questions. Fix: Someone w/ better info about wpa_supplicant should check out the text for wep_key[0123], but here's a first cut at a patch. *** wpa_supplicant.conf.5 2005/09/24 01:41:12 1.1 --- wpa_supplicant.conf.5 2005/09/24 02:03:05 *************** How-To-Repeat: Set up a wep based wpa managed network as a first timer and try to find the instructions.
