I am using iwconfig to do the configuration and at the same time I have set some settings in script/start_net. But after tries also can't get logon to the AP.

After a check with "iwlist wlan0 encryption" noticed that the key it uses is wrong. My AP uses key number 3 but no matter how I tried to change the settings, it only uses the first key (WEP key-set #1).

Please, anybody knows how to fix this? BTW what is this error "SIOCADDRT: File exists" means? Should I do something to solve this as well? It appears during the time I start the wlan0 interface.

Here's the message that I got when starting up the wlan0:

[root@localhost scripts]# ./start_net
wlan0: unknown interface: No such device
wlan0 deconfigured, module unloaded.

Setting rate to 11M.

nobody could give a hand?

"SIOCADDRT: File exists" means that your script tries to configure the gateway while it is already configured (by another net interface).

I suppose that you can just comment the "GATEWAY=" line in your start_net script.
