I have been unable to get this card to work on my Compaq Presario 2170. I have followed the instructions from the support database article on this subject, and I have scoured this list and others looking for help. The card appears to be active, and gets an IP address from my router. I can ping the built-in ethernet card but not the router. I think the problem is in the mode setting, but changing it to anything except ad-hoc generates this error message: ERROR: command 'iwconfig eth1 mode automatic' returned Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. <snip> instead of automatic try Managed, ie
iwconfig eth1 mode Managed. The Netgear USB wireless adapter connected to this PC accepts this command. LW999
