Clemens,

Try this. This is my working config.


# /etc/wpa1.conf
ap_scan=2       # 0 does not work. 1 is ok. 2 is fast.

network={
        auth_alg=SHARED
        mode=1          # ad-hoc
        group=WEP104
        ssid="yourSSID"
        wep_key0=1234567890ABCDEF123456678
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        key_mgmt=NONE
        priority=0
        scan_ssid=0
        frequency=2412
}


# modprobe r8712u
# iwconfig     <- you should be able to see 'wlan0' or 'wlan1' if
you've more than 1 wireless
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa1.conf


That should work.

Jeff
