I discovered that it has to do with the key. I disabled WEP on the access point and now it works. The access point has 3 choices for WEP, disabled, 64-bit and 128-bit (I had it set for 128-bit). I put in a passphrase, hit done and that was the key it showed. I tried entering it as you suggested but it didn't work. It gave an error about unsupported command or something like that so I manually entered it in wireless.opts, didn't work though. Perhaps I edited incorrectly. It originally had something like KEY="s:secu1" or something like that and I replaced the s:secu1 with the key I had. I don't really like it running without WEP though. I gotta figure this out.
Any other ideas or places I can research this key problem? Linksys was of no help, they don't support linux. Is it my imagination or is linux/konqueror WAY faster at displaying web pages than windows/netscape? I am totally amazed at the speed difference.
