The encryption at my company is 64bit, and there is little chance that a small
fish like me can have this changed in company with over 100K employees. ;)

I am pursuing your suggestion to bind to the wvlan_cs driver, except that I
cannot find that driver on the MDK9.1rc2 kit.  I can find a wavelan_cs driver. 
I tried binding to that.  However iwconfig operations on that fail with
"Operation not supported", for "Set ESSID", "Set Encode" etc.

Looks like my only hope is to get a wvlan_cs.  Any idea where I would find such
a driver?

Am running 9.1RC2 on a Compaq M700 with a Compaq WL110 (Orinoco) wireless card.

On inserting the card, I run the following script to setup my encryption
parameters (the essid, and encryption keys have been edited out for security
purposes):

/sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid companyid
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 mode Managed
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [1]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [2]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [3]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key xxxx-xxxx-xx [4]
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 key [1]

At this point I can see the wireless access-point with iwconfig.

Then I invoke "dhclient eth1" and get the following output:

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

I am unable to hook up to the company network.

If I repeat the above on the same hardware booting MDK 9.0, (using "dhcpcd eth1"
instead of "dhclient eth1"), everything works!

In my home wireless environment, where I have no encryption turned on, I do not
run the script above, but simply type "dhclient eth1" on MDK 9.1RC2 and I am up
on the network.
