I have a HP Pavilion XH535
2Wire PCMCIA card its a re-branded Orinoco Silver
2Wire 100w Home Portal named house
Drivers are orinoco_cs
SuSe 8.0
One beep on boot
Encryption off all is good
Trying to use 64 bit WEP
Using Kwifi and or wireless tools for configuration
Wireless key is default 2465559603
iwconfig output is
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"house" Nickname:"HERMES I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:02:2D:11:76:27
Bit Rate:11Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3
Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:2465-5596-03
Power Management:off
Link Quality:40/92 Signal level:97/153 Noise level:57/153
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

I show a strong signal sitting 5 feet from the main unit 2Wire 100w. However I cannot obtain an IP once I have turned on encryption.

ifconfig shows
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2D:52:27:81
inet6 addr: fe80::202:2dff:fe52:2781/10 Scope:Link

RX bytes:867116 (846.7 Kb) TX bytes:27640 (26.9 Kb)
Interrupt:3 Base address:0x100

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong.

Okay found a post by Finegan that gave the correct commands

iwconfig ethX essid NameOfTheNetwork
iwconfig ethX enc 123456abcd (if you are using encryption)
dhcpcd ethX

The output was
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"house" Nickname:"HERMES I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437GHz Access Point: 00:02:2D:11:76:27

**********************
Compare the output of the first post and this one all is the same except I have no IP in the first one. Someone tell me what changed. I used command line instead of kwifi same encryption different result????????????????

Silence is golden I guess.
Well it works however everytime I reboot I need to go into the control panel and delete and then readd the wireless card.
I have an IP after running the iwconfig commands but am unable to browse anything. Showing host unreachable.
dmesg shows this.
