I have a linksys wrt54gl with whiterussian 0.9 installed.

i can connect to a nearby unsecured network:

$ nvram set wl0_ssid=linksys ; nvram set wl0_wep=disabled ; nvram set wl0_channel=0 ; nvram commit ; /etc/init.d/S40 network restart
udhcpc (v1.4.0) started

Lease of 192.168.1.121 obtained, lease time 86400


i can't connect to my secured network:
$ nvram set wl0_ssid=mynetwork ; nvram set wl0_wep=enabled ; nvram set wl0_channel=10 ; nvram set wl0_key=1; nvram set wl0_key1=blahblahetc ; nvram commit ; /etc/init.d/S40 network restart
udhcpc (v1.4.0) started

No lease, forking to background

I've got other wireless clients connecting to the network, and I've checked that the ssid and key are correct.  What other settings should I check?

solved: just use mac80211 instead of broadcom driver type smile
