wireless configuration woes

[Rory Campbell-Lange <rory@campbell-lange.net>]

I seem to be having trouble connecting to my airport v2 base station
from an ibook2 equipped with an airport card.

I wish to connect to a base station with a name a password (all the
users use the same name - say "mozambique" - and password - say
"current").

My configuration script is:

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.181.11
    netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.181.254
	up iwconfig eth1 essid benguela
	up iwconfig eth1 enc s:current
	up iwconfig eth1 nick rozair

iwconfig gives me:

roz:/home/rory# iwconfig
eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"mozambique"  Nickname:"rozair"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412GHz  Access Point: 00:30:65:15:F3:56
          Bit Rate:2Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3  
          Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:6375-7272-656E-7400-0000-0000-00
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:46/92  Signal level:-51 dBm  Noise level:-97 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:295  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

tail -f /proc/net/wireless gives me:

roz:/home/rory# tail -f /proc/net/wireless 

Inter-| sta-|   Quality        |   Discarded packets               | Missed
 face | tus | link level noise |  nwid  crypt   frag  retry   misc | beacon
  eth1: 0000   46.  205.  159.       0    425      0      0      0        0

Are my encryption settings wrong?

Thanks for any help.
Rory
