Ah, I see. Well, in that case, guess there isn't really anything to be done, aside from perhaps updating a netcfg example to include this. This is why I like to ask first :) -AT On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 4:35 PM, Jeff Mickey wrote: > The problem is slightly larger than iwconfig support or lack t

The problem is slightly larger than iwconfig support or lack thereof. WEP passphrases are merely keys to hash into the hex encryption code. iwconfig _will_ allow you to use an ascii representation of the hex: iwconfig wlan0 key s:somepasswd But there is no guarantee that your router is merely usi

Certainly, WPA is the way to go (though that's been cracked somewhat easily too using video cards' vector capabilities from what I hear). Regardless, there are WEP access points, and people do only know the passphrase. Do you suggest that this should go for iwconfig rather than netcfg? I technical

[arch-general] Proposed netcfg expansion

2009-04-20 Thread Andrei Thorp
Hello there, I was recently digging around in the netcfg code to figure out why my WEP passphrase wasn't working. As I expected, it is because iwconfig at the moment doesn't support WEP passphrase. Anyway, so I'd like to know the reason this has not been implemented in general. Is it because the
