Hi Kwan, Is the WL-130G based on RT2500 chipset. My Ubuntu 7.04 setup uses a fixed IP and TKIP. If so: Install the package wireless-tools sudo apt-get install wireless-tools I added the lines below to /etc/network/interfaces auto ra0 iface ra0 inet static address 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 pre-up ifconfig ra0 up pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK pre-up iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=TKIP pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid TI-AR7WRD pre-up iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK="PASSWORD" Change password and IP address as desired - I have a fixed ip address of 192.168.1.11 and gateway of 192.168.1.1 Note: I removed anything to do with wlan0 in my setup. You must get your networking setup to use ra0 as the network interface, disable others like eth0 etc. Please backup your /etc/network/interfaces file before changing it. Cheers Shaun PS: I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 and wireless networking works much better than 7.04.
