Totally NEW to Linux and PUPPY...
Using Puppy 3.0 and a LINKSYS WPC11 mod 4 PCMCIA card...
I have confirmed I can connect to my access point with WEP disabled. However, using the wizard to config the wlan0 interface and setting a WEP key, I can no longer connect.
After using command: dmesg wlan0 and reviewing the log, I see the following messages:
rtl8180: Setting SW WEP key
wlan0: could not initialize WEP: load module rtl_ieee80211_crypt_wep
I am at a loss as how to proceed from this point. I've looked for the module mentioned via the web with no success.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks !!
3.01: Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA not working with WEP encryption
Tried a search & found this though no mention of wep.. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 95&t=15727
Older news here may help http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 76&t=12666

Re: 3.01: Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA not working with WEP encrypti
The r8180 module fails to define its full dependencies, so some of the modules it relies upon are not loaded.
Load your modules in this order
then run the Network Wizard.
That looks like a typo. It should be "ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl"gnic wrote:wlan0: could not initialize WEP: load module rtl_ieee80211_crypt_wep
Load your modules in this order
Code: Select all
modprobe ieee80211-rtl
modprobe r8180
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl
unable to load wep module
tried loading modules as specified, but it seems the wep module either is not there or will not load.
has anyone else got this working with WEP?

zdrv issues
so with that in mind, how to debug this?
i am able to mount the zdrv collection via Rox, no problem. I see the module ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko in there. its in /lib/modles/2.6.21.7/r8180
still cant load it with modprobe. grrrrr
toss me a clue?

Copy ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko over to /lib/modules/2.6.21.7/r8180/
While you're there, you might as well copy over ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko and ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko ... just in case you want to use WPA encryption in the future.
Now run this command to "register" the presence of these modules -
