Background info:
-HP Pavilion Notebook (500mhz amd k6 w/ 64megs of ram)
-usb ma111 wireless b adapter
-used "install to hard drive" menu option w/ grub bootloader

My ma111 is v1 i believe (fccid: py3ma111) so i should be using the prism2 gui networking tool.  after using the tool i have the following in my "opt/myprism2.sh" file:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/prism2.sh wlan0 01 Cook 3F:86:3B:73:F4

i'm assuming that the prism2.sh script configures my ma111 as follows:

interface: wlan0
channel: 01
ssid: Cook
wep-key: 3F:86:3B:73:F4

i then added the script to my bootlocal.sh boot script and it reads as follows:

#!/bin/bash
# put other system startup command here
/sbin/syslogd
/opt/myprism2.sh

when i startup it runs the script and says

"Tx attempt prior to association, frame dropped."

any ideas?  i have double checked my router settings and the ssid, key, and channel are absolutely correct.  Do i need to change some dhcp settings or ip address settings? Thanks in advance for any help given,

**update**i was rebooting and got a chance to read an error message that i hadn't previously noted because the screen changed too fast.  it said that there was an error in line 27 of prism2.sh file and that it "expected a unary operator"...any ideas on why that comes up?

line27 of prism2.sh reads:

if [ $DESKTOP == "fluxbox" ]; then

Neither of these affect any operation of the device.
Also wmnet has since be removed.
I frequently use an ma111 device without issues.

If it is really bothering you, I suppose you can swallow the errors by adding
2>/dev/null after  your myprism2.sh in /opt/bootlocal.sh
