roberts - not sure if it possible to give a format example on the popup or not. But if it is, for cases where special formatting is required it might help the end user.

OK ! But it still don't works, because when I type iwconfig the computer shown's to me that "encription key:off",

And I wonder, how could I change this: "encryption key on"

My encripcition key is an "hexadecimal" key

I apologize again, my english is very bad!! Thanks a lot

Hello everybody, my problems still alive;
Now when I type iwconfig, the encryption key appears in the results, but I still don get connection with my wii router,,, when I type ping to my gateway -10.0.0.1-, the computer "says", Network is unreachable", or something like this, but....
I remenber that in ubuntu, -for example- when you finish to configure, your wifi card, to connect to the wifi router, you must to stop and restart the device, -in my case wlan0- to connect it to the network...
How can I do this in DSL..
Thansk a lot again!!!!
