Hi, just installed red hat enterprise 5.4 & whilst the network works over Ethernet, it wont connect over wifi.
I have static ip's setup (but have tried dhcp) & have tried different settings though not gone as far as looking into the scripts yet (im new to linux).

The connection attempt returns the error:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

Does anyone have an idea? thanks...
 
Ahh where you enter the pass key in linux for wifi, it only accepts a hex key so by using a WEP hex/key as an open system on the router & entered that its connected :)

Err, is a WEP open system secure? I noticed if I dont enter the correct hex/key it wont connect.

Or which script contains the normal key information so I can use WPA2 security.

thanks
