Hi everyone,

Running FC4 on an Intel P4 2.8GHz. I am not able to connect to my Access Point wih my DWL-G122 wireless USB network adapter when the WEP (whether 'open system' or 'shared key' authentification) encryption is enabled. If WEP is disabled it works fine... :confused:

This is starting to drive me up the wall as I am quite sure I didn't screw up the network configuration...

Here is the output of the ifcfg in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
DEVICE=wlan0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=
DOMAIN=
HWADDR=
GATEWAY=
TYPE=Wireless
ESSID=MYAP
CHANNEL=6
MODE=Managed
RATE=Auto
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no

I have the key on a keys-wlan0 file on the same directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

In my ifcfg-eth1, in which WEP connects perfectly, there is the line:

KEY=096F123ABC456etc.

Try it and let us know.
