Thanks for all the comments. I finally got to the library which has an open system. Still no luck so it must be the card or OS. I put mandrake 10 on an open partition and will try it tomorrow. If that doesn't work the next step will be to load on windows. if that doesn't work then I know it is the card. What I do not understand is why the card would show up, but it will not connect. ski
I don't understand it either. If the card shows up like that with iwconfig, all you should need is an IP configuration for it to work, assuming ESSID and WEP is configured properly. However, I do notice that the Link Quality=0/92 in your iwconfig output. That tells me that you don't have a link to the AP. Make sure that you have a link indicated by a Link Quality > 0 (preferrably 10 or better).
You could go to your local Starbuck's or McDonald's to test in their HotSpot's, if they have them set up.
