D-link AP will not access my DWL-G650 card


Hi,

I'm a new Fedora user and having some problems connecting to my d-link AP (108g) with my DWL-G650 card.

The card seams to be working, I get the following result with command "iwlist scan":

ath0 Scan completed :

The problem is that my AP (airlink) will not allow me to access, I'm guessing it has something to do with the line "Extra:ath_ie=dd0900037f01010017ff7f"..... can anybody please explain what it is to me? I have no problem connection to the other AP (default), but that is not my own AP!

please post your /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-ath0 file.

I'm assuming that ath0 is the internet facing nic right?
