Hi,
I have a IBM ThinkPat T30 a Cisco Aironet wireless internal in the laptop 802.11b only.
It works great with open Acess points, but when i try to connect to encripted ones.
I got the dialog box asking for the passphrase 128 bit, I enter it and after that i receive the dialog box again!
Maybe my card do not support WEP or I am doing something wrong?
Here is part of what i can see on /var/log/messages
thanks! Guillermo Garron

Your wifi card is supposed to support WEP. However, make sure that is what you are using, cause it won't support WPA.
As a side note, I have noticed some WEP incompatibility between different manufacturers when using WEP keys longer than 54 bits. That also might be your problem.

You might want to check if the driver has any debug options.

Thank you very much, BTW how can I find the driver? thanks.

Just use a smaller WEP key.
