IPW2200 Intel 2200 B/G Gentoo Problems

Hi all

Well this is my issue.

I have a Dell 600m , with a Intel 2200 b/g wireless card.

I Installed the native drivers ipw2000 (vertion 0.7) form sourceforge.net

I emerge the drivers, i read all the INSTALL file and search around google to make sure i knew what i was doing.

well everything worked well, up the installation.. after the install i was able to see the device with "iwconfig"

=============================================
My router setup

US Robotic USR8054
I'm using WEP with a 64-bit hex key

=============================================

i setup my card using the iwconfig, i got the card running well with the ESSID, my KEY, and all the stuff..

i did a ifconfig eth1 up

then a

dchpcd eht1

and ok..i got my IP address and all the stuff..

Code:

Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0E:35:11:9B:BD
          inet addr:192.168.0.107  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20e:35ff:fe11:9bbd/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:1024 errors:468 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:329338 (321.6 Kb)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:7 Base address:0x6000 Memory:fafef000-fafeffff

everything seem to work just fine... HOWEVER

NOT CONNECTION AT ALL................... I noticed that the RX Error is 486, but i really don't know what that can that mean or how to fix it

my card have a valid IP, the key is correct ( I checked many times) all is fine...but i CAN;T CONNECT ...NOT NETWORK AT ALL!

any ideas...what it may be wrong?

any extra step that I;m missing

(NOTE: i check my kernel ..all the crypt stuff is enable)

Please some help!
