wl1271 + ThreadX having problem with WEP Authentication

Hi Han,

can you try the following:

1) Set the Management mode to manual (1).

2) Set the authentication to open (0).

3) Set the encryption as WEP.

The complete script for these actions is shown below:

/ d s
/ m d 1
/ p a 0
/ p w a 88f2c58643 1 1 hex

Below are some of the logs associated with the script above.

Hi Eyal,

Thanks for your help on this! We found out that we are missed out authentication setting in wilink driver (since our project doesn't include wpa_supplicant).

Our board currently able to receive data from wl1271 module through WL IRQ. However, we observe some error message:

=========================================================

rxData_ReceivePacket: Received Packet with RX_DESC_DECRYPT_FAIL

=========================================================

Any chance that you have idea on this issue? Many thanks.

Han Sian

Hi Han Sian,

It means that there is a decryption error in the receive path. How often do you see it? Is it for every packet or is it randomly appears ?

Thanks,

Eyal

Hi Eyal,

Yes, it show this message for every packet which sent through ping command from PC. We suspects that there is some wrong setting for WEP in our project (I don't have the detail information in hand now, I shall provided it in next few days)

Do you have any idea on this issue? Thanks.

Han Sian

Hi Han,

it should work with no issue, can you send me the key command you are using on the CLI, as well the key setting of the Access point yuo are using? keep in mind that in wep there is an option to define up to 4 keys and use one of them and the configuration of the Station and the Access point should match.

Eyal

Hi Han,

thanks for the update, good luck with the project n general.

Regards,

Eyal
