I tried changing the router's hostapd.conf and the laptop's |
| 27 |
/etc/conf.d/net to use a 64-bit hex but I get this: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* Stopping ath0 |
| 30 |
* Bringing down ath0 |
| 31 |
* Shutting down ath0 ... [ ok ] |
| 32 |
* Starting ath0 |
| 33 |
* Configuring wireless network for ath0 |
| 34 |
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : |
| 35 |
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. |
| 36 |
* ath0 does not support setting keys |
| 37 |
* or the parameter "mac_key_network2" or "key_network2" is incorrect |
| 38 |
* Failed to configure wireless for ath0 |
