| Netbook doesn't like encrypted wifi Hello, I'm running Eeebuntu 3.0 with LXDE and wicd as my network manager, and since switching the computer to linux, I've been unable to access a friend of mine's encrypted wep. There's a similar thread to this but I didn't post there because I -could- access the internet when this was a windows box. I'm not sure if there's special settings I should input or what...Might be worth noting that the WEP [I have it memorized because I've tinkered with it so much] could possibly be a number in hex, or a pass phrase that doens't include a character higher than F, nobody is 100% of that. Internet works elsewhere. Thank you kindly.

| What is the network card? I'm aware of a few wireless drivers that have trouble with WPA/WPA2, but I haven't heard reports of lack of WEP support.
With wicd you have to select what form of encryption, have you tried hex and passphrase?

| Here you are, it's much appreciated. And gradually, I'll need to bug you guys less and less, seems like I learn a little more each time someone fixes something for me. I tried the key on both hex and passphrase.

| Here's the output of dmesg. I feel somewhat ashamed that it didn't occurr to me that the drivers could possibly be an issue, I'll have to play around with them. I appreciate the help, at any rate.
