Hello,
first it works'!
But there is a but, because it's clumpsy to get it work:
- At boottime it must be out of the slot, because otherwise the speakers of my dell notebook scream in a neverending high frequency beeeeep - i think it's a real attac to my life!
- ok, i boot without the card, then put it in and open a terminal.
- sudo iwconfig eth1 key nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
- sudo pump -i eth1
- sudo route add default gw eth1
ah, the last command is because i connect with eth0 to a fileserver (big disk), but want to connect on intenet throu neighbours wireless-router...

Is there a shorter way?

thx for help

Thanks so much for your research. I've been trying to use this card with DSL, but after several days, gave up and tried with DSL-N.

I'm using a Compaq M700 notebook and I can leave my card plugged in when I boot. No noise Very Happy

With DSL, it wouldn't recognize any network command what-so-ever, even though the card showed up in the PCMCIA card manager.

Everytime I would type something like this into DSL-N..

iwconfig eth0 essid XXXX mode managed key 12345678

it would hang the entire computer

I even tried it using asci "key s:password". Same thing

I finally got it to accept the key by putting colons between every two numbers (hex), but it still wouldn't work until you said to 'pump' it.

Thanks again.
