WebDT 366 encryption

[pga57]

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 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...

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.

[tschak909]

I don't set open or shared key at all with wep in TabletCFG, as typically wep systems are configured for open.

-Thom

[hari]

and open is the saner choice for WEP. If any WEP based encryption can be called sane :-)

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 ?

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...

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.
