hi,

i've configured the driveloader and it worked fine without no security.
But with WEP i couldn't put it to work. and now i cant put it to work
with or without WEP :-( .

what command line commands do I have to do?

i did:
# iwconfig eth0 essid XXXXXXXXX
# iwconfig eth0
eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"XXXXXXXXX"  Nickname:"unknown"
          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate=11Mb/s
          RTS thr=1600 B   Fragment thr=0 B
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:1  Signal level:0  Noise level:56
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

# dhcpd eth0 (hangs here)

what do I did wrong??

# dldrconfig -i
Wireless interface name: eth0
