Prism2 Wireless Support

how did you setup the WEP password stuff ? My experience is that unless the WEB/ESSID is setup correctly(so the card can talk with the router at that level), pump would fail.

I didn't use wlan-ng so I don't know how it would be done for your card.

For my orinoco silver, I just did :

iwconfig eth0 essid "my essid set on the router" key "sxxxx"

where xxxxx is a 5 char(WEP 40 bit) key. The "s:" is important as that is the only way I can specify the hex key format(xxxxx).

Ok, thanks for all your help so far. There are still sevreal problems though. When I run the commands that Probo suggests, I get the error "insmod: driver not installed". This *is* different to what I was getting before, so I am hopeful.

When I try manjo's "wlcardconfig" I get a "error: no wireless cards found".

I hope I can get this to work! Thanks for your help so far!

Yeah, my Orinoco Gold card works fine when I put in the WEP key with wlcardconfig or iwconfig but neither of these work with this prism2 based usb adapter. I'll keep working on it I guess.
