I tried changing the router's hostapd.conf and the laptop's /etc/conf.d/net to use a 64-bit hex but I get this: * Stopping ath0 * Bringing down ath0 * Shutting down ath0 ... [ ok ] * Starting ath0 * Configuring wireless network for ath0 Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. * ath0 does not support setting keys * or the parameter "mac_key_network2" or "key_network2" is incorrect * Failed to configure wireless for ath0 - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
