Hi, I have iwconfig Wireless-Tools version 28 and it reports my wifi card this way: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- wlan0 802.11b/g NIC ESSID:"MyEssid" Mode:Master Frequency=2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:4F:66:00:26:CA Bit Rate:1 Mb/s Retry:off RTS thr=2432 B Fragment thr:off Encryption key:****-****-** [2] Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=28/100 Signal level=-120 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:88 Tx excessive retries:61689 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While starting with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 it reports * Starting wlan0 * Configuring wireless network for wlan0 * wlan0 configured as ESSID "HomeFlowAp" * in master mode on channel 2 (WEP disabled) * Bringing up wlan0 * 192.168.123.1 [ ok ] The problem is with '(WEP disabled)' statement if my Encryption key is entered. I found the problem in /lib/rcscripts/net/iwconfig.sh file. There is following code on line 77: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- if iwconfig "$1" | grep -qE "^ +Encryption key:[0-9,A-F]" ; then ---------------------------------------------------------------------- But my version of iwconfig shows ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Encryption key:****-****-** [2] Security mode:open ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can see, there are asterisks instead of [0-9,A-F]. And the line starts with TAB instead of spaces. When I change the grep regexp, it works fine for me. I changed the code to ---------------------------------------------------------------------- if iwconfig "$1" | grep -qE "^[[:space:]]+Encryption key:[*0-9,A-F]" ; then ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Could you please update the grep regexp in this file? Thank you. Robert Wolf.
Fixed in 1.12.8 - thanks
