Huh? OK, try (as a long shot)

iwconfig wlan0 essid "Any" channel 1 mode Managed rate auto enc £kings$6..,.

You're using the prism2 driver, yes?

Do you have a wlan.conf file knocking around in /etc/pcmcia?

I did mess around with the prism drivers a while ago, but I can't remember exactly how they set things up.

Hang on ..

.. I'm just looking at the latest wlan drivers.

In the PCMCIA directory there are 3 files .. wlan-ng, wlan-ng.conf and wlan-ng.opts .. do you have those?
