I have some issuses regarding my wlan pci smc2802w
I installed everthing sucessfully and got the prism54.
When i restart the computer i have wlan connection, however, if i set the wep key and restart it the eth0 wont assign an IP to it.
My question is how do i connect using wep ?
Also what connecting programs are good ?
Thanks in advance

Can you be a bit more precise? You start the computer and you have wlan.
Then you set the wep key and you have not access. Do you use a different network? How exactly do you set the key? What do you mean by 'restart it'?

Have you tried to remove the module before you try again?

It is the same network, when i go on http://192.168.2.1 and set the wep key to the router and restart the computer the bringing up eth0 message when i push the F2 key takes a long time and it fails, however, when i take off the wep key it starts automaticly and it doesnt fail.
With the wep key i have no connection cuz the eth0 wont bring it up when linux starts for some reason i am using the waveselect program to connect. I am not sure what module you are talking about by the way?

Unfortunately I am not familiar wit hwaveselct program. How exactly do you specify the key, in hex or ascii form? Why do you need the key if it works without it?

I had a bit similar issues. Wifi worked without key but not with key (in a different network). I found out that I must not try to bring up net in the encrypted network without key -- it kind of confuses the module. However, after rmmod ipw2200 (this is a centrino laptop) It worked again. I used command-line

But, if you really restart the computer, then removing/reloading the kernel module (prism54 I guess in your case) does not matter.

Dou see any related kernel messages (dmesg command)?
