Hey Jonathan. Thanks for the reply.

All I get when I do that is:
------------------------------------
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
------------------------------------
I did a google before I replied and all I could find was that it was a
"harmless" error. Only thing is that I don't know if it worked or not.
I did put my ap on "open" and it still didn't work. things just keeps
getting worse. 8)

Just my experience with 64 Linux hasn't been good. I have tried
fedora, suse, and ubuntu, all of them 64. they last a while and after
that wierd things start to happen. Gnome screws up, programs don't
run, icons on the desktop change to other program's icons. I don't
know I'm just staying away from it for now. And yup, they're the
32-bit drivers. Got them straight from my xp partition.
I have been able to get ndiswrapper to work on the 64 linux. It was
much easier than what I'm going through now. ;) Last time was follow
instructions and all done. I don't know whats going on now....
thanks again Jonathan, maybe we can do this thing. I'm going to keep googling.
