Station Failed to authenticate (unsupported algorithm):

Greetings,

I'm trying to connect a inFocus LiteShow wireless projector that uses a NetGear MA701 compact flash card.

Whenever the projector attempts to connect to my Hp 420 access point, the AP generates the following events:

Dec 20 10:04:47 Warning: 802.11g:Station Failed to authenticate (unsupported algorithm): 00-0f-b5-de-44-17

Followed by:

Dec 20 10:04:47 Warning: 802.11g:Station Failed to Reassociate (station not authenticated): 00-0f-b5-de-44-17

I am using 64bit WEP as the "security" and all 30 laptops in the lab connect to the AP without a problem. I have tried both firmware versions 2.1 and 2.1.2 with no luck. The projector connects to a Linksys WAP54G without a problem.

Any thoughts?

Look in projector config to chk the key length and communication protocol.
