Hello All, This may sound dumb, but I assure you it's really happening to me. :-) Problem: When I activate WEP on my router and insert my PCMCIA card the 'proto' changes from static to DHCP. My router is not set to serve up addresses so I never get connected. If I disable WEP the card works great with a static address. Hardware: Compaq Presario 2110US Orinoco Classic Gold PCMCIA card Netgear FWG114P Wireless router Software: SuSE 9.3 Pro Any insights into this issue are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
