View Full Version : Clie' WL100 & Cisco AP1200?

Been trying to get the WL100 to talk to our pair of AP1200's and can't seem to get things working.  I'm using a 128 bit WEP key, MAC filtering and I have set the preamble on the Ciscos to LONG.

I'm wondering if perhaps the Clie is trying to use WEP key position '0' whereas the Cisco is trying to use '1' (There IS no '0').  These have to match up to work properly and unfortunatly in the woefully inadequate driver that Sony gives you there is no way to set the key position.  Most drivers support 4 key positions.

Any ideas?  Anyone get this working with a Cisco access point?  (AP1200, OS 12.02T)

What I'm seeing in the web logs is:

Station [MAC address] Authenticated

Deauthenticating [MAC address], reason "Unsupported Authentication Algorithm"

Which is odd because from this it almost seems like it's authenticating and then deauthenticating immediately thereafter.

Chris,

Can you connect at all? If so then your WEP, SSID, and MAC should be setup fine.

If you can't connect, disable all WEP and MAC filtering temporarily and see if you can connect that way.

Some Cisco routers may have other features that the Clie won't support, like LEAP. I also presume you downloaded the new WL100 driver from Sony?

I never ventured into the realm of authenticating.

Do you have both Open and Shared Key authentication types checked in the AP1200 config? I've run a WL100 on an AP340 successfully, with those settings and WEP enabled.

Sounds like and EAP issue to me.
I would turn off MAC address filtering first.
Then double check that you are using open authentication only.
Use Mandatory WEP Encryption with TKIP and MIC both off.

Good Luck !

Setting open mode fixed the problem. Need to look into what the ramifications are vs. just shared mode. In fact I'm typing this on my Clie now...
