Key Provided Automatically Option for WEP?
 

Anyone know if this is possible on the N800?

The network I am trying to get on require WEP encryption, but the key is provided automatically (that's how we set it up on our laptops).

Any help/pointers/answers would be appreciated. I did a search but could not find anything specific to my problem.

How about "open network authentification?" Is there an option for that somewhere? I am trying to log into the wireless network at work, but there are a few things on the windows wireless setup that are not on the N800 (selecting open net auth is one, then having the WEP key retrieved automatically is another).

Anyone?

Ok, so I have been trying to figure this out by searching google and I think what I need is:

"open system authentication"

as opposed to

"shared system authentication"

The network I am trying to get on is a hidden infrastructure network, using open system authentication with WEP encryption (with PEAP / MSCHAPv2... requiring a user name and password [which I have]).

I hope all that stuff I wrote makes some sense.

Well, if anyone is wondering.

Atleast according to a 2 year old bugzilla report:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417

802.1x (Key Provided Automatically Option) is not supported with WEP encryption on the IT's.

Dang it! I can't rlogin/ftp on to the tools I work on now!? I am going to keep on reading this bug (there are a few comments). Man, this is a big reason why I bought this thing.. That and make changes/add scripts on my modded XBOX (which I am able to do and its great!). ;)

Update:

Made an update to the bug listed here:

Did anybody ever find a solution to this issue? I see one of the comments on that bug page mentions creating a manual connection and setting the "manual username". Has anbody confirmed if that works?
