I'm having some trouble setting up a laptop for a wireless connection.
 I'm using Fedora Core 6 and a Netgear PCMCIA card.  I got the drivers
installed and working.  I am also aboe to detect other networks.  The
problem I am having is with the WEP key.  For some reason it doesn't
seem like it is transmitting the WEP key which causes my router to not
assign a valid IP address.  All of the other PCs work and can get a
valid IP address from the router so I know that the WEP key is not
being typed in incorrectly.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Also I am using the madwifi drivers for my PCMCIA card.
