>Description:

Since Oct 3rd I cannot get my WLAN (ndis) to work.
I assume its because the weptxkey cannot be set anymore.

Am getting error message:
+ ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!

The day before I was able to get my WLAN card working in
DELL D610 Laptop with the following statement:

ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on weptxkey 2 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx channel 11 \
        authmode shared ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

>How-To-Repeat:

ifconfig ndis0 down
ifconfig ndis0 up
ifconfig ndis0 authmode shared
ifconfig ndis0 bssid any
ifconfig ndis0 channel any
ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on
ifconfig ndis0 weptxkey 2
ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!!
ifconfig ndis0 ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ifconfig ndis0 172.16.2.10/24

console messages:
        ndis0: failed to get bssid

Created ndis driver newly using ndisgen, to be sure, that the
driver is well. No change.

Another strange thing, the day before when wlan was still working:
ifconfig ndis0 still showed channel 1. Although I configured the card 
to use channel 11.

My Access Point is definitively set to channel 11.
