Hello,

I have a linksys router, connected to a pc with linksys PCI card. Works
fine.
Now connecting my laptop with a SWEEX 11G card. All works fine without WEP.
As soon as I use WEP my laptop is not connected anymore.

Who has an answer to this?

Thanks in advance,

Theo

I would suggest you use only a hex wep key in both devices, not ascii
keys.
For 64 bit wep, use a key length of 10 hex or for 128 use a key of 26.

Hi, I seem to have the same problem. I use a sweex 11G card and a linksys AP. I tried two different AP's (both linksys) with 802.11b and one with 802.11G. Both have the mentioned problem. BUT.... When I place the sweex card into my other (Dell) laptop it works fine?? Also when i use another (USB) wireless card it will work on the first laptop. Strange think I will get rid of the sweex card and get another.... unless anyone of you guys have a fix to this problem. -- knijf033
