Hello,
first it works'!
But there is a but, because it's clumpsy to get it work:
- At boottime it must be out of the slot, because otherwise the speakers of my dell notebook scream in a neverending high frequency beeeeep - i think it's a real attac to my life!
- ok, i boot without the card, then put it in and open a terminal.
- sudo iwconfig eth1 key nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
- sudo pump -i eth1
- sudo route add default gw eth1
ah, the last command is because i connect with eth0 to a fileserver (big disk), but want to connect on intenet throu neighbours wireless-router...

Is there a shorter way?

thx for help
ice

Thanks so much for your research. I've been trying to use this card with DSL, but after several days, gave up and tried with DSL-N.

I'm using a Compaq M700 notebook and I can leave my card plugged in when I boot. No noise Very Happy

With DSL, it wouldn't recognize any network command what-so-ever, even though the card showed up in the PCMCIA card manager.

Everytime I would type something like this into DSL-N..

iwconfig eth0 essid XXXX mode managed key 12345678

it would hang the entire computer

I even tried it using asci "key s:password". Same thing

I finally got it to accept the key by putting colons between every two numbers (hex), but it still wouldn't work until you said to 'pump' it.

Thanks again.
