still not working, any help ?
wep key successfully decrypted, but wep connect fails
i use bt3 on the eeepc 701.
i successfully extracted the wep 128 bit wep key from my own wlan but i cannot connect from the backtrack 3 system via console or wireless assistant gui.

so dhclient fails, dhcpcd fails and manual ip configuration fails either.
the wep key is correct.. i can connect from other systems via this wep key.
can anyone help me with this ?
problem update
still not working, any help ?
use windows ...
if it works in windows yer doing it wrong :P
use spoonwep just type it in the CLI of bt3 its idiot proof
killall -9 dhcpd
wlanconfig ath0 destroy
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0
wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed
ifconfig ath0 up
iwconfig ath0 essid "my net" key 37:31:30:37:33:32:32:38:35:33:36:36:xx
iwconfig ath0 ap 00:1C:4A:098:5E
dhcpcd -d -n ath0
in windows the connection works perfectly with the discovered WEP key.
i also should mention that there is NO macfilter enabled on the AP.
I tried your suggestion, no success:
bt ~ # killall -9 dhcpd
dhcpd: no process killed

still no ip address....
This is the problem.bt ~ # dhcpcd -d -n ath0
dhcpcd: MAC address = 06:11:22:33:44:55
Change this line: wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode managed
To this: wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta -bssid
This should work for ya
Code:killall dhcpd wlanconfig ath0 destroy macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0 wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta -bssid ifconfig ath0 up iwconfig ath0 essid "my net" key 37:31:30:37:33:32:32:38:35:33:36:36:xx iwconfig ath0 ap 00:1C:4A:09:D8:5E dhcpcd -d -n ath0
The only reason that I have really needed to use the -bssid option for is to successfully spoof the mac address without getting the "06".
Without having mac filtering enabled on the router, there is not really any point in doing other than testing if it works on your setup.
Besides that, OP is getting connected to AP, but just not getting IP address assigned.
So, either the AP is not running DHCP, or perhaps there is a limited range of IP's which already in use ?
(which would not appear to be the case as reportedly in windows no problem connecting)
You could try 'netdiscover' to see what that returns when associated with the AP ?
