Hi !
I am using Netgear WG511T card under Suse 9.0. when I try to connect using
ifup ath0 I get the error :

ERROR: command 'iwconfig ath0 key XXXXXXXXXXXXX restricted' returned
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument.

lsmod shows :
ath_pci 54124 1
ath_rate_sample 11104 0 [ath_pci]
wlan 103644 1 [ath_pci ath_rate_sample]
ath_hal 133808 1 [ath_pci ath_rate_sample]

and ifconfig shows :

ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:6C:08:E6:B0

Can anyone help or kindly direct me to the right thread.

check the docs for madwifi and see whether the wireless extensions of your kernel is high enough. Also paste your interfaces file if thats ok.

Did you ever solve this one? If not:
