How to connect Wireless with WEP?

#1 Post by RussA »

My Linksys wusb11v4 is working well with puppy 2.13, ndiswrapper and no WEP. I just can’t get it to work with WEP. I put the WEP value into the key field in wizard but it will not connect. I tried 64 & 128bit with Auto, shared & open with no luck, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Russ

are you using wag, or RuTilt?

i don't connect to any AP with WEP, but if you are having trouble with one try the other.
so much to learn, so late a start.

I'm connected to a couple of WEP APs with RutilT. Go to the site scanner, click the SSID, then "Add Profile". Plug the wep key in.

Make sure that you go to the "IP Settings tab" and choose "DHCP" or your computer won't get assigned an IP address.

That's what I did, and it's working for me in Puppy 2.13.
