OK. Here's the whole thing manually.
At least this way if anything fails, you should see the point at which it fails, and see some form of error message.
sudo su
rmmod orinoco_cs
## load the driver
modprobe prism2_cs
## if no error messages, this should create a network interface, wlan0
## can check this by running ifconfig -a
## the default channel is 11, if you want anything else -
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_wlansniff enable=false channel xx
wlanctl-ng wlan0 p2req_channel_info_results channel xx
## activate the wireless interface
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
## to disable WEP -
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=false
## now these WEP settings have no effect
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep decrypt=true encrypt=true
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11ExcludeUnencrypted=true
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
#wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=12:34:56:78:90
## connect to the wireless network
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=MY_ESSID
## Obviously replace "MY_ESSID" with your router's SSID.
## Now let's get an IP address.
## for automatic IP
pump -i wlan0
## or for static IP
## modify /etc/resolv.conf to include your nameservers, then -
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.xx broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.0.1 wlan0 # or whatever your router's IP is
## check the status of your wireless interface
ifconfig
## check connection to router
ping 192.168.0.1 # or whatever your router's IP is
Happy browsing.
