Known Issues

wlkeytool generates an error message—When wlkeytool is run on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0-1 on AMD64 or EM64T configuration, the following error message is displayed:

error fetching interface information: Device not found

The error is due to a change in the syntax of the netstat command in Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES 3.0 and higher. This problem does not affect the execution of wlkeytool, so it can be ignored.
