Comment 6 for bug 37451

Tormod,

I'm afraid this patch doesn't work for me. Without your patch, I have a working setup with the following in my interfaces file:

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.223
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
wireless-essid ann-sco
wireless-enc on
wlan-ng-key0 34:4b:0f:4f:00:00:f8:7e:dd:00:4c:18:ce
wireless-mode managed
wlan-ng-authtype sharedkey
wlan-ng-hostwep true

After deleting this, patching the ifup script, and setting up the interface through GNOME, it looks like:

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.223
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
wireless-essid ann-sco
wireless-key restricted 344b0f4f0000f87edd004c18ce

But it doesn't work. I played around with a couple of things (removed the "restricted" from wireless-key there, changed opensystem to sharedkey in the ifup script), but no dice. The card just won't associate, and dmesg shows:

Do you have it working on a real network with WEP?
