[driverloader] DWL-650+ : WEP not working

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

even if you use the network configuration tool of Fedora Core, which is 
recommended instead of using the 'iwconfig' low-level command, to 
configure the WEP key, the network scripts will use the 'iwconfig' 
command to set the WEP key. You could try to set the WEP key with the 
following command instead:

---
iwconfig eth1 key xxxxxxxx
---

to see if you obtain the same error message. If you require more 
assistance, please send at support at linuxant.com what is the exact value 
of 'xxxxxxx' you have tried with the command above. You should also send 
the output of the 'cat /proc/driver/driverloader/eth1/capabilities' 
command in a root shell.
