How to have WEP activated on Zaurus with OZ 3.3.5 :

- Cf OpenZaurus site : "WEP with hostap may not work out of the box." follow their advice :

echo hostap_crypt_wep >> /etc/modules

Or : add hostap_crypt_wep at the end of file /etc/modules

Only do it once!

Ref : download page of OZ 3.3.5

- Cf FAQ on OpenZaurus web site, set wep key (in hexa) manually :

iwconfig wlan0 key 1234-5678-9abc-def0-1234-5678-9a

This key of course has to be the same as the one used on the other computer!

You can copy this line in a shell script to avoid typing it each time!

Ref : OZ faq

For your information, under linux, with linux-wlan-ng drivers (prism2-utils), you should avoid using ASCII key PRIV_GENTSTR which is not translated by nwepgen in hexa the same way windows does (a basic ascii->hexa conversion).

Use instead in /etc/wlan/wlancfg-yourSSID:

PRIV_GENSTR=""
dot11WEPDefaultKey0="12:34:56:78:9a:bc:de:f0:12:34:56:78:9a"

Test configuration:

ASUS SpaceLink WL-110 on Zaurus SL 5500 under OZ 3.3.5

Wifi USB Key Netgear MA111 under Mandrake 9.2

Note : to have the ASUS SpaceLink WL-110 work under OZ, I just had to add in file /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf (at the third line) :

card "Asus WL-110"
  version "ASUS", "802_11B_CF_CARD_25"
  manfid 0x02aa,0x0002
  bind "hostap_cs"

Then, I modified /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts (at the end) :

case "$ADRESS" in
*,*,*,*)
    INFO="ASUS", "802_11B_CF_CARD_25"
    ESSID="my_ssid"
    MODE="Ad-Hoc"
    RATE=auto
    ;;
esac

At last, I set IP parameters in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. But I'm not sure it is compulsory...
