Try no encryption -- as a test. Is your authentication type set as open or shared? --- robbinsc@email.arizona.edu wrote:

Yes - AP is using 128bit hex WEP. I've set the key a few times, but I can't figure where the problem is....I'll give no encryption a go.
Is the AP setup using any encryption?

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my wireless card to work with my wireless AP. I have one of the famous-for-not-releasing-drivers Broadcom chipsets (specifically the Dell Truemobile 1300 (B/G) ). I tried using ndiswrapper, but I had little success. The driver installed properly, and everything else worked fine, but I couldn't get SuSE to ping the router and get an IP address. I tried a few restarts, but nothing happened. I started over again, this time using Linuxant's Driverloader package. The problem remains the same. I've set the configuration quite a few times, both within YaST and by using iwconfig. I've also tried using ifdown to stop eth1 and then restart it and dhcp with ifup. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong? I can confirm the AP is working fine, because the other computers on my network are reporting no problems. The weird thing is - if I execute KWifiManager, the AP is seen, the ESSID displayed, and the signal is reported as 100% (which makes sense, as I'm seated right next to the router), but it can't detect the MAC of the AP, and it says that it's disconnected.
Thanks for the help.
