Hello current@,
I've got a laptop that uses the intel 3945abg wireless chipset. I've
followed ben's trials and tribulations with the wpi driver for several
months.
At one point, I had plain (unsecured) authentication as well as WEP
authentication working. (this is several months ago now)
However, the last 2 renditions of the driver won't even work if I have
WEP enabled.
Having seen the recent import into HEAD (8.0-CURRENT) I decided to give
it another whirl on my laptop.
With the november 2007 driver on the clearchain site, I can associate
to a completely nencrypted AP. However, using WEP or WPA fails.
I can't even associate to a WEP enabled AP if I set everything manually
with ifconfig.
Details are as follows.

}
The only hint I've been able to find so far, comes from using
wpa_supplicant in debug mode.

The part that caught my attention was
Nov 25 00:32:14 Laptop kernel: wpi0: could not configure bluetooth
coexistence
Google seems to offer 0 results for the above. Looking through the code
in the wpi driver tarball shows where the error is coming from, but the
part I'm not understanding is: this machine doesn't have bluetooth, nor
any bluetooth devices.
I'm not sure what other info would be needed, but I'm willing to
provide anything I can to ben or the community at large. I haven't
succeeded any producing a log as to why it won't associate to a WEP
enabled AP when manually configured using ifconfig.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff Palmer
