I don't think anyone has been able to get this working from everything I
have read.

Subject: linksys wpc11 + wep


I have a linksys wpc11 pcmcia card in my laptop (redhat 8.0 all the
latest 
updates)
using the intersil prism2 driver it works fine as long as I don't try to

turn on wep,
with WEP enabled on the access point (a linksys wap11) I can no longer 
connect to anything, I have tried with both 128 and 64 bit encryption, I

have checked the keys 4 and 5 times, tried changing the keys, nothing 
works.. using this same card in windows it works fine with wep turned
on, 
and my powerbook and ibook both with airport cards work just fine also
with 
this setup so I'm pretty sure its not the AP, but possibly the prism 
driver?? Does it not know how to properly encrypt the data its sending?
Did 
the driver developers develop straight to the WEP standard, and linksys
not 
use the standard quite so strictly (of course this wouldn't explain
apple's 
hardware/software being able to work flawlessly would it)?  Is this a
known 
issue?  I don't want to leave my ap open, (not that wep is any great 
security, but it's better than nothing!!), let me know.
Tom
