<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I have a dual boot
desktop running RedHat 9 (2.4.20.28.9) / Windows XP and an XP laptop. The
Linksys router and adapters have the latest drivers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've been
successfully using a 40-character ascii passphrase with WPA PSK AES with the XP
supplicant on both the desktop and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> laptop for a while
now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I've installed the
latest Linuxant driverloader with the WMP54G driver and the
wpa_supplicant. I am able to successfully connect in the following
configurations :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
- No security</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
- WEP SHARED with 128bit hex key specified (generated by an ascii
"zipadeedoodah"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
However, trying to connect with the ascii "zipadeedoodah" passphrase
fails. ( I did find a comment in IWCONFIG that passphrase</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> is not
supported). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Most
importantly, starting wpa_supplicant -dd with the same passphrase that
works with all of the XP supplicants noted above results in :</FONT></DIV>
