    Yes, but it turns out that wasn't the problem. After getting all of the required drivers installed and not getting the wireless to work I finally just bugged my brother (he's grumpy most of the time, which is I went here first). What was preventing me from connecting was the fact that I was using the wrong kind of WEP encryption. I kept entering the wifi key using 'passphrase' when are network was actually using an ASCII key, and now everything works. I feel like such an idiot, and I'm sorry for wasting anybody's time.

    Well done Roky, you stuck with it and helped solve the Wireless problem sorta kinda, but that's usually how it goes.
    Congrats to Intel-Qube for getting it done, persistence has paid off for you.
