I had this going until I had to do a semi-reinstall (portage decided that I didnt need my toolchain and uninstalled it).
Unfortunately I forgot to backup my config files.
Now my wireless refuses to connect to the access point. It can see it fine and I can use it for everything except connecting to a network (scanning for networks in airsnort works fine).
Here is all the relevant info:
lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0d5c:a002 Belkin F5D6050 802.11b Adapter

The access point is named AP and is on Channel 1 with no WEP.
Its MAC is 02:00:8A:22:79:03.
I plug it in, wait for it to do its thing and then I run: iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid AP channel 1
Then it says this:

Now if I switch it in to ad-hoc mode and then back to mananged it says what I posted above. The correct MAC address is in the Access Point: bit.
I did have it showing a signal strength at one stage but it still wouldnt connect to the access point.
Does anyone know why it doesnt show any signal strength and wont connect?
I must be missing something.
