(You can mask out the WEP key) My first guess is maybe you need to set the encryption mode to "open" instead of "restricted" # iwconfig wlan0 key open Can you configure it and get it to work after boot? > It has to be a setting mistake on my part.

Try the above change and if that doesn't work, try turning WEP off and see if you can get it working without it. > Just in case, It's a presario r3000 laptop (AMD64 but running x86 FC4) > and like I said its a built in broadcom chip. Any reason you are running the 32-bit version? Make sure you have the 32-bit Windows drivers (yes, there are 64-bit drivers and they work with 64-bit Linux and ndiswrapper :)). http://lists.pcxperience.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000 http://prinsig.se/weekee/ There is a lot of information at the above Wiki and the mailing list has many people who are running Linux on R3000 laptops.
