[PATCH] compile error in ieee80211_ioctl.c

[PATCH] compile error in ieee80211_ioctl.c

[Alex Davis]

Hello:

I cloned git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git
last night and got compile errors while compiling net/d80211/ieee80211_ioctl.c
into a module. This patch fixes it.

The last parameter of module_param() is a permission value, not
an init value.  The int is already initialized above.
Typical permission values are 0, 0444, 0644, ... (octal,
or use the available #defines).

Here is an updated patch which addresses Randy's issues. I'm currently running
this with no problems:

NAK. Those parameters should not be writable yet.

Please see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=114565040832451&w=2 for
the correct patch (hopefully John will pull it soon).

This has now been addressed.

iwconfig shows Encrypt key off when using WEP.

[Alex Davis]

I'm using the latest wireless dev git. wireless tools version 28.
wpa_supplicant 0.4.8 .

Here's the output of iwconfig wlan0:

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"mysid"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: xx:xx.....
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Encryption key:off   <--- should be 'on'

Here's lspci -v:

        Subsystem: Dell Truemobile 1450 MiniPCI
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
        Memory at fafee000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]


Here's the dmesg output from loading the module:

Here's my wep.conf file:
# Static WEP keys

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
        ssid="mysid"
        auth_alg=OPEN
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0=111111919191919191919
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
}

Here's the wpa_supplicant command:
wpa_supplicant -D wext -c ~/wep.conf -i wlan0


Other than that, it's been working perfectly.

Thanks
