Title: 1024 bit WEP WiFi does not work with Buffalo WiFi card, C760
Post by: darkeye on April 06, 2004, 08:53:56 am

I\'m trying to access a closed WiFi sport with my C760 via a Buffalo WLI2-CF-S11. I\'m using the Cacko QT ROM. The WiFi spot uses 1024bit encryption using Key2 for the encryption key.

I set up all in the network dialogs, but the WiFi card can\'t connect (it tries but it fails)

The same C760 with the same WiFi card works for public WiFi networks.

The same Buffalo WiFi card works fine for accessing the same closed WiFi sport from an other PDA (some PalmOS based device).

What could be wrong here?

Do you mean 128-bit WEP encryption?  I don\'t think that WEP supports 1024bit keys to my knowledge.  I have heard of 1024bit WPA, but that is not the same.

Have you toggled between open and shared networks?  I was dismayed to find my router at home does not do shared encryption security.
