[WICED-SDK-2.2.1]

Hello,

Using the configuration process of Wiced SDK, the WICED eval board BCM43362WCD4 can not connect any Wi-Fi networks whose security type WEP(128).

Even using the demo application "Appliance" from the , we observed that the module gives the error " failed to join" after entering the correct password and clicking join button that is next to the SSID.  The module can connect other Wi-Fi networks with different security types such as WPA(AES2).

Regards

Dave

WICED-SDK-2.2.1 does support WEP, however ...

WICED config mode does not support WEP key entries via the web interface in WICED-SDK-2.2.1

This will be addressed in the next official SDK release.

WEP is fully supported by the 2.2.1 SDK.  I have attached an example of configuring WEP security using the command line, in this case I used the mfg_test application.

Your description only shows how to use WEP using wl via the manufacturing test application.

This simply passes wl serial commands from the wl PC app through the MCU to the WLAN directly.

None of the standard WICED APIs are used with the mfg test app, so the WLAN

credentials obtained during WPS setup are not stored in the DCT.

For the next SDK release (due early April), we will add a snippet app that shows how to connect

to an AP with WEP and store the WEP keys into the DCT.
