[driverloader] WiFi does not work if WEP enabled, but does if disabled

[Kirk Bowe]

This may/may not be of use, but while tearing what's left of my hair out
over this with Fedora Core 1, I discovered that, for one reason or other,
the standard Redhat network / device configuration tool seems to be
ignoring anything you want to say about encryption or keys.  If you try
iwconfig you should see if the key you've been specifying is being set up
or not.  If you use the iwconfig tool to manually inform the driver that
you want to use key X, you may find that this will get through, e.g.:

% iwconfig eth0 1a2b3c4d
% iwconfig eth0 commit

My AP always defaults to the 1st key so if you know that then that might 
be all you have to do.  But do try iwconfig and check its output against 
what you expect it to have.
