Can you explain how did you make your card working again ?

I have prism2 (Linksys ) that works under 1.5 but not 2.0

Thanks

I got prism2 to work. One trick is that your WEP key (if hex) needs to be in the format:

A1:B2:33:EF.... (regular key + : every 2 characters).

BTW - I need help in saving the settings in prism2. I have an HD install, but I need to reenter the SID and WEP key each time (despite doing a "backup/restore"). Any Ideas?

If you used the gui in the control panel, it makes a myprism2 script in /opt Look for that then add it to your .filetool.lst for backup/restore

my problem now is that dsl 2.0 doesn't like my thumb drive. it boots fine from cd. dsl 1.5 works fine from cd & thumb drive. it seems to be a usb problem. when booting from cd, it took a couple of tries for it to see my thumb drive. once it did, the thumb install went without errors.

the error reads

dropping to minimal shell
blah blah blah

if this helps

amd 2100+
msi kt3v

thanks

i still cant get it to work, 1.5 works great, boot from the cd....go to the dsl control panel, press the prism two button, it waits a few seconds, and boom, up and running.

but, when i stick the dsl 2.0 in, boot up, try the same thing.....dsl control panel, press prism2 button, nothing, it sits for about 30 seconds, and times out....

what step am i missing?

Question about DSL2 and Prism2.

In past builds of DSL (1.4 specifically), I didn't have to activate anything in order to get up and running wirelessly.

Now in DSL 2.0 I need to go to Prism2 everytime I start up and "OK" the settings that are already in the feild there. Anyway to get around this and just have Prism2 OK that itself?

I'm using a Netgear MA401 card.
