Fwd: Netgear MA401 and WAP Encryption

[Thomas Seifert]

Hi,

it took me some time to get the wireless network to work on my SuSE 8.0
Linux and my Netgear MA401 Card.
But there is still a problem that I can't connect to an Access Point with WEP
enabled.

Is there some kind of debug mode where I can check wether the Problem is
somewhere within the encryption?

thanks,
