TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING INCORRECT WEP KEY FOR OPEN AUTHENTICATION
Techniques for detecting reason for connection attempt failure for DHCP with an Open Key authentication (WEP) protocol are discussed.
1 . A computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions to facilitate operation of an electronic device, the instructions to perform a process comprising:
detect a DHCP protocol;
indicate a WEP detection that is associated with a DHCP transaction; and
configure communication with the electronic device to an access point via a unicast packet.
2 . The computer readable medium of claim 1 further comprising:
configure a timer based on issuance of a challenge command.
3 . The computer readable medium of claim 2 wherein state of WEP detection is analyzed.
4 . The computer readable medium of claim 3 wherein the timer is terminated upon acceptable state of WEP detection.
5 . A computer readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions to facilitate operation of communication to an electronic device, the instructions to perform a process comprising:
detect a DHCP protocol;
indicate a WEP detection that is associated with a DHCP transaction;
utilize a WEP key to encrypt and broadcast a challenge; and
configure communication with the electronic device to an access point via a unicast packet.
6 . The computer readable medium of claim 5 further comprising:
configure a timer based on issuance of a challenge command.
7 . The computer readable medium of claim 6 wherein state of WEP detection is analyzed.
8 . The computer readable medium of claim 7 wherein the timer is terminated upon acceptable state of WEP detection.
