This will initiate an association to the network "symbol". Ensure the network is not configured for security.
1.9.4 Checking status/iwconfig
You can confirm that the client card is associated by running the
$> iwconfig
eth1
Mode:Managed
00:A0:F8:B5:7A:D0
Bit Rate:11 Mb/s
Retry limit:7
Encryption key:off
1.9.5 Getting an IP Address
To get an IP Address, use:
$> dhclient eth1
If an IP Address is successfully received, you are ready to use the card.
1.9.6 Configuring WEP
Follow the steps below to configure 64-byte WEP encryption. You can get more details on these steps from
the
LA-51XX API Programmer's Reference Guide.
# set the authentication to OPEN
setoid eth1 0x12000000 long 1
# set the privacy mechanism to WEP64
# DOT11_OID_PRIVACYINVOKED
setoid eth1 0x12000001 long 1
# use 4 for wep128
# set EXUNENCRYPTED to true.
# This will prevent any cleartext communication.
setoid eth1 0x12000002 long 1
# set DEFKEYID to 0.
# This will set the default key index to "key 1".
setoid eth1 0x12000003 long 0
# set the default key 1
eth1 0x12000004 key 0 0xabcdeabcde
# set the essid.
setoid eth1 0x10000002 ssid wep64
Check the association status using the command
You can also use wpa-supplicant to configure WEP 64 and WEP 128.
