[Bug 220640] Re: [hardy] iwl3945 + wpasupplicant fails to connect to university network. regression from gutsy (ipw3945+wpasupplicant)

[ubuntu_demon]

having linux-backport-modules-hardy-generic installed and modprobing
iwl3945 gives me the following srcversion.

sudo modinfo iwl3945 | grep srcversion gives : 
srcversion: FDE2E62843DE3ED112A50C3

** Description changed:

  [hardy] iwl3945 + wpasupplicant fails to connect to university network.
  regression from gutsy (ipw3945+wpasupplicant) which worked fine.
  
  wpa_supplicant.conf :
  
  network={
  ssid="MAASnet"
  key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
  wep_key0=67521641120849428492308341
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
  identity="" #fill in
  password="" #fill in
  }
  
  Here's a part of the output from running ""sudo wpa_supplicant
  -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlan0 -D wext -d"" which
  might be relevant :
  
  EAPOL: Setting dynamic WEP key: unicast keyidx 3 len 13
  wpa_driver_wext_set_key: alg=1 key_idx=3 set_tx=128 seq_len=0 key_len=13
  ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Invalid argument
  Driver did not support SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
  EAPOL: Failed to set WEP key to the  driver.
  
  I'ts probably not a microcode error because I followed : 
  http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=fw_error_report and I'm not seeing "Microcode SW error detected" in my dmesg.
