There's a difference in how you might be creating WEP keys on the router and how you assign them to a card using iwconfig.

If you created a WEP key using passphrasing on the router... that's the problem. Just assign a hex key by hand on both sides and you have no worries.

You actually bought the best card on the market, and from the only guys that have yet to NOT change the chipset without also changing the model name. Unlike the 3 different chipsets that masquerade as the WMP11.

I'll second that. I have an MA401 and it worked right out of the box. I activated 128 bit WEP and it still works...however I didn't use a passphrase, I typed in a long key on the router and used the same in my config files on my laptop. Have not had a single problem with it since. Its actually easier to use the thing in linux than it is in windows.

anyone get the smc2532 high power card to work under linux?

According to the uberlist, the SMC2532 High Power is just another Prism2 card, what's the output of:

/sbin/cardctl ident
