Hello, I'm facing the same problem. According to tests I've made, there is a major bug that disables the WPA to run. Found some scenarios that behave differently:
If there is only WPA-TKIP configured, the network is unprotected and it is not a problem to connect anonymously.
If there are both WPA-TKIP _and_ WEP configured, it is possible to connect via WEP seamlessly, but WPA is still out-of-order, however the client is able to see the WPA protected network, trying to authenticate and get a IP from DHCP server but this never finished.
When gone through the logs, I found that in web interface on "Wireless status" threre is only "associated" status in comparison to wl sta_info <MAC addr> command where both "associated" and "authenticated" are being listed. Moreover, when listed the wl wpa_auth, the result was "0" (ie no authentication) and wl tkip was disabled in both cases (the WEP encryption was correctly enabled in second configuration).
I tried to tweak these settings but with no luck (I agree that I'm not a wl-command-guru )
This issue concerns only to Wl-500b revision1 (Broadcom chipset), as I've tested Wl-500b rev.2 with no problems on WPA-TKIP and Wl-500gx aswell.
Does anybody have any solution, hint, hammer or whatsoever to solve this issue? The last Oleg's firmware is rockstable and I'm too paranoid to run a simple WEP encryption for a long time.
P.S.: I tried to reinitialize the setup by resetting to default, tried to reflash the firmware... problem persists :-(
HELP please!!!
