Ok, good, that narrows it down a lot.

1. Is 1UC68 the AP you want to connect to?
2. Is this an open AP? I have yet to add encryption to my AP so am
not sure about this, but I can't find an 'key2' in the iwconfig man
page. Also if its' open, whay the key??
Anyway here is my working interfaces for a different card.
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe ipw2100
pre-up ifconfig eth1 mtu 1492
post-down rmmod ipw2100
Again. This is for an open AP here.
This one is for a PCMCIA Atheros chipset that doesn't use dhcp.
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet manual
address 192.168.1.17
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.3
pre-up wlanconfig ath0 destroy
pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
pre-up ifconfig ath0 mtu 1492
wireless-mode Managed
wireless-nick T40
wireless-key off
post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy
I use both of these on a Thinkpad T40. War wardriving the eth1
interface does connect to some open APs'.
I will be adding WPA to my AP this weekend so may know more then.
I have to get that working because my Satellite network is being
installed next week. Goodby 2.4 kbs, finally!
