You need prism2_cs or orinoco_cs for 128-bit WEP, nothing else will work. With Orinoco, use iwconfig to set the key, or add a line like this to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX: WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="<key>" As a hex string with no spacing. > 3) What is the status for wlan-ng (prism2 stuff) and LM9.0? > Can wlan-ng be installed alongside LM9.0 and a normal distribution of > pcmcia-cs? A fairly recent (though not current) set of wlan-ng drivers is actually included in 9.0. The support software, though, isn't. Someone has packaged the necessary utils and posted the location to this list before. Search the archives. Then you need to do a bit of fiddling around to make everything work, since the wlan-ng drivers use wlanX while everything else uses ethX. -- adamw
