I have done everything that gets my rt2500 up & running under Knoppix 3.9 & no matter what I do I get:
"aborted network switching due to invalid wep key specification". Rat droppings!

I have even set my router's WEP key to open & my rt2500 WEP key to open and still get the error.

My laptop won't boot with the nosmp cheat code.

Is it ndiswrapper again or does someone know how to get this working using the builtin driver?
