Hello,
I'm playing with my WebDT 366 (group by Europe) I've received yesterday.
Without wifi encrytion, it work well.
But I have no sucess with 128bit WEP encryption.
I've test a lot of hexdecimal key format but have no result (AA:BB:CC:..., AABBCC..., aa:bb:cc:..., aabbcc..., aa-bb-cc...,AA-BB-CC..., etc...).
I suppose something is wrong but don't find the solution.
Do you have better result ?

the key format is simply lower case:
aabbccddeeff11223344.....
I use key 1 from any set.

Maybe an idea to update the WebDT 366 (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/WebDT_366) wiki page?
And thanks a lot to everyone involved (unfortunately I haven't been able to try mine yet as I'm away from home at the moment :-[).

Humm...
I have no success with simply lower case key format Thom :-(
Does the system image used by Tim the lastest ?
Very strange...
Philippe
-
yes,
If you need to, attach a usb keyboard.
Then, when booting up orbiter, when you see the progress bar for it loading, hit control-c t to get a terminal.
you can then sudo -i
root password is root.

hi there,
same thing happened to me two days ago.
It used to work like a charme, WEP encryption on Tschaks gamma release.
Then i tried my 3Com wlan card to try it with WPA. As that didn't worked out for me,
i tried to go back to WEP... than. Nothing. Now i have to disable WEP encryption to get my
dear Webpad Orbiter to work.
I did even delete the orbiter on my LMCE, reflashed the gamme release, no success.
Does anyone experienced the same ... and got it working?
Thx..

connect a usb keyboard to the pad
and tap the network reconfigure button.
You can then hit control-c-t to get a terminal.

it works fine with wpa and a netgear card here..
-
When you choose WEP, try setting the System to Open rather than Shared Key... I had to do this from the start with mine.
-
I don't set open or shared key at all with wep in TabletCFG, as typically wep systems are configured for open.
-Thom
-
and open is the saner choice for WEP. If any WEP based encryption can be called sane :-)
br, Hari
-
Like patmankn, I have no success with WEP.
I have put a 3com 3CRWE154G72 card but, it is not reconized (I suppose it' a kernel problem).
What model of netgear card do you use Hari ?
Philippe
-
unfortunately i got the china variant of the Netgear WG511 v2 (yeah, the v2 comes in different chip flavors - bastards). So had to compile the ndiswrapper module in a debian-sid chroot...
br, Hari

Thom,
The webpad orbiter is "totally wicked"! Thank you.
I also had trouble with the wep and ended up just using the even-more-flimsy mac filtering as a stopgap.
Anyone got wpa working on the Cisco Aironet?
thanks,
joseph
-
in short, it's messy. You'd be better just replacing the card.
-Thom
-
Thom,
Thank you. I saw in the 'ongoing development' thread that you thought Hari had a solution for the cisco. But out of the box is good. Do you know what card(s) just work?
thanks again,
joseph
-
Hari does, I believe. I haven't been able to replace my cards yet. I have four that I would need to replace.
-Thom
-
I just shot a Netgear WG511 from ebay ( about 3 bucks ;O) ) aqnd will give this one a try.
This is the card hari mentioned to work ( at least, the chinese version!).
When it works, i will edit the wiki page...
Patrick
-
Patrick,
Much thanks. We look forward to hearing your report.
joseph
-
be aware that one of those versions does not work in Linux (guess what, yes, thats the one I bought). So I have to use ndiswrapper. The Ubiquiti atheros based card would be a perfect fit, as you could use the existing antenna without anything popping out of the tablet. But I only found it for 100EUR and saw no point in spending that much for a WiFi card.
best regards,
Hari
-
Damn Hari! ;O)
well i will give a shot and try to get as much cards as i can get.
For now i tested a
- Z-COM XI-325HP => not working
- 3Com 3CRPAG175 => not working
so I'm still running another router with WEP encryption... and when the Webpadorbiter has a bad day not even that ;O)
Pat
P.S: well... maybe the reason is I, why the cards didn't work ;O)
