Tim,

> any chance that the Gold and Silver cards setup the same?

Setup for the Gold and Silver cards is identical except for the
encryption keys.  Silver supports 40-bit encryption (or is it 64?), 
Gold supports 128-bit encryption[1].  That is the difference.

So when you are using 'iwconfig' to enter an encryption key, the
Gold cards can support a longer encryption key.

The setup from the Linux side, though, is the same.

Regards,
Dan

[1] Note that this is the WEP encryption that was cracked incredibly
easily recently.  If you are concerned about security, you shouldn't
trust WEP and instead run an additional layer of ssh or IPSEC on
top of the cards.
