Hi,
A while ago I posted here for help with my WLAN card (Linksys WPC11 v3). Here
is my setup ...
I have a built-in LAN card (rl0) through which I am usually connected to my
network. The there
is the WLAN card (wi0) which would connect via an Access Point (AP). All of
this is funneled
via a Router
rl0 usually has 192.168.0.2
Router 192.168.0.100
wi0 would get 192.168.0.21
This is my netstat -rn and ifconfig in the usual setup (just rl0 connected to
router)

When I want to connect via the wi0, I down the rl0 and give it whole different
IP. The chain
of commands is this:
ifconfig wi0 192.168.0.21 255.255.255.0 nwid scyld nwkey BACE8A21EA up
ifconfig rl0 10.0.0.0
route delete default
route add default 192.168.0.100
I need the nwkey for the WEP (64bit) encryption (open authentication). Both the
AP, as well as
ifconfig, suggest that I am connected wireless, but I cannot ping anything.

And still I cannot ping anything. As soon as I turn off WEP and have an
unencrypted AP, I can
ping. What am I missing out here? Both ifconfig and the AP tell me, that I am
connected, and
netstat says the routes are fine. What's the problem here?
