David,
I am pretty sure WEP key is inserted in correct format and filed in both
drivers. In fact, they could connect to each other (implying WEP
checking is passed) but connection would drop out as soon as some large
amount of packet flow happening. After that, only resetting pcmcia by
using cardctl could allow re-connection.
