An earlier version of the 2.6.15 kernel package had a problem with the ieee80211-module that prevented WEP use. As newer versions of the linux-image package were installed I forgot to move the module directory. Although I was running linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 v.2.6.15-8, the module directory I was using was from linux-image-2.6.15-1-686 v.2.6.15-2. Once I moved the module directory and reinstalled the kernal package WEP began working fine. The moral of the story is to ALWAYS move your module directory before upgrading the kernel. -- Bill Thompson BillT@Mahagonny.com
