I’ve fixed the WEP support in the Wifi driver so that it can authenticate with APs that use Shared Key authentication.
Usage:
iwconfig nds channel <N> essid <ESSID> key <wepkey>
Thanks go to sgstair and the ethereal dev team.
Update: It looks like only 64bit WEP is working.
Update 2: 128bit WEP in the next build.

Lino has been fixing the bugs in iDeaS and today DSLinux […]
Bret has updated the wifi driver and it’s much more stable now.
