[driverloader] WPC54G Can't connect to WRT54G

[Marc Boucher]

Hi Matt,

Does the card associate with the WRT54G once the ESSID is set? (you can 
do that manually with "iwconfig eth1 essid xxx").
When the card is associated,  "iwconfig eth"1 should show the AP's mac 
address, and a "Connected" message should appear in the kernel log. 
(which can be displayed with the dmesg command)

What firmware version is the WRT54G running? which version of the 
WPC54G driver are you using? Did you check if a newer version was 
available for either of these from www.linksys.com? If yes, I would 
recommend upgrading it.

Also, did you try to reset the router to factory defaults? (by holding 
the reset button down until the diag led goes red and the unit 
reboots).. Even if you might have only changed the ESSID, perhaps 
someone else modified other settings (in the unlikely but possible 
situation that your unit might have been previously used at the store 
or purchased/returned).
