[hardy] networkmanager and WEP

[musicman]

Hi,

I'm also having trouble connecting to a unprotected network using NM,
atheros chip.


dmesg|grep wifi
[   40.724167] hostap_pci: Registered netdevice wifi0
[   40.724173] wifi0: Original COR value: 0x0
[   40.926625] wifi0: NIC: id=0x8013 v1.0.0
[   40.926773] wifi0: PRI: id=0x15 v1.0.7
[   40.943135] wifi0: STA: id=0x1f v1.3.5
[   40.947499] wifi0: defaulting to bogus WDS frame as a workaround
for firmware bug in Host AP mode WDS
[   40.949365] wifi0: Intersil Prism2.5 PCI: mem=0xd0000000, irq=23
[   40.949593] wifi0: registered netdevice wlan0
[   47.642749] wifi0: LinkStatus=2 (Disconnected)
[   47.642954] wifi0: LinkStatus: BSSID=44:44:44:44:44:44
[   48.027940] wifi0: LinkStatus=1 (Connected)
[   48.028251] wifi0: LinkStatus: BSSID=00:18:39:a5:90:3a

It seems to be dying on the DHCP, or at least the churn for DHCP?

lspci -v
04:03.0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan
chipset (rev 01)
	Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 23
	Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>


does anyone have any ideas?

cheers
L.
