Yes I have! /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts has to include the line similar to this: KEY=s:abcdefghijklm Where abcdefghijklm is the String expression of the Key, not HEX. I entered the same into the WAP and voila! It's working fine. It took me a while to figure this out. I used 'makepasswd' to create a 13 character string for a password. It can be alphanumeric and caps are optional. That was all I did for WEP. run iwconfig as root/sudo and it will show you if the Encryption Key is being used. -- Beggars should be no choosers. -- John Heywood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

DWL-650 Wireless NIC
I have an interesting problem that has recently come up and I'm wondering if others have had a similar experience. I have a D-Link DWL-650 Wireless NIC. I used to have a D-Link DL-713P Wireless router. Between the two, things worked very well. But the range was a little short. At one point I picked up a NetGear wireless router and between the DWL-650 and the router I was able to get about 9600 baud of through put. NetGear refused to provide any assistance as there was throughput and so it's been returned. Now I am looking at an Orinoco WAP. Wireless connectivity (signal strength and reported speed) is excellent, better than the D-Link. But there's no sustainable throughput. If I try to download anything like a medium sized web page, or open email and ssh, the card drops to 2MB/s and then quits altogether. I get flooded with errors in my syslog that look like this: Dec 7 15:49:19 thorin kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out Dec 7 15:49:19 thorin kernel: eth1: Tx timeout! Resetting card.
