Problems with ath5k and WPA2 keys

Problems with ath5k and WPA2 keys

[J.A. Magallón]

Hi all...

With last 2.6.32.2 kernel, I can't connect to my home WiFi router.
I use WPA2+PSK mode.

I have discovered it's related to key length:

one:~# iwconfig wlan0 key s:password
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
one:~# iwconfig wlan0 key s:passwor
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
one:~# iwconfig wlan0 key s:passwo
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
one:~# iwconfig wlan0 key s:passw

(this last works...)

So network scripts can not set my key...

I don't know if this is a problem in iwconfig or in the driver...

Any idea ? Any way to debug this ?

pd: hardware is Acer Aspire One 150:

the appropriate mailing list would be linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org for
WiFi related questions.
