HI, All three access points have the same wepkey and wepkeyindex, in fact they are all Linksys WAP54Gs. The configuration does work with Mac OS X 10.4.6 in both 'b' and 'g' modes (original airport and airport extreme), on Intel 2100 chipset under both Windows XP and Nevada B40.
Could this be a firmware issue? The version on the 350 pcmia card is 4.25.30.
