I now seem to have most things sorted out now except passing the encryption key automatically. The link is made but I am unable to access the network.
If you drop a file in /etc/waproamd/keys/accesspointmacaddress.wep containing just the wep key then it'll automagically do that step for you.
I have to admit that I took that filename literally at first (blush) but realisation dawned later. However now that I have a file of the format 00:00:00:ab:cd:00.wep, containing the *correct key*, in /etc/ waproamd/keys it still doesn't work until I type iwconfig wlan0 key blahblahblah
Any ideas please?
