[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#398820: wpasupplicant: WPA works but WEP key do not

[Anand Kumria]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.5.5-2
Severity: important

Hi,

This bug is similiar to #361425 but since I uses a much newer version of
wpasupplicant (which has this fix apparently), I'm reporting this as a
new bug.

I use the ipw2200 driver (from 2.6.18-rc2) and with the following in
/etc/network/interface I can intermittedly associate but never get an IP
address allocation via DHCP:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wpa-ssid MyWiFi
        wpa-psk  ABACADAEAF
        up ifmetric wlan0 1


However, if I use this instead, everything Just Works:

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
        wireless-ssid MyWiFi
        wireless-mode Managed
        wireless-key1 ABACADAEAF
        up ifmetric wlan0 1

Let me know what, if anything, you want me to test. I'm unsure where to
begin and/or what I might need to provide.

Thanks,
Anand
