[driverloader] Linksys WMP54g troubles in redhat 9

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

can you try with the WEP key disabled?

Also, if possible, reset your AP's configuration and use the detault
settings for the interface under Linux to see if it can attach.

Hello,

I am having some of the same problems I've seen posted on the list, but
none of the solutions have helped for me.

My main symptom seems to be this:

[root at menfin network-scripts]# ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0... failed.

The diagnosis file reveals that I am able to scan my network
(dobesland).

If I attempt to join the network using
iwconfig eth0 essid "dobesland"
iwconfig

eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:""  Nickname:"menfin.localdomain"
          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate=54Mb/s   Tx-Power=16 dBm
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XX   Encryption mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:1/1  Signal level:-10 dBm  Noise level:-81 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

It returns no error but iwconfig will show "" as the essid afterwards.
On the other hand:

iwconfig eth0 essid "any"
iwconfig

will join a network -- but not mine!  It joins some other network in my
building and I still can't dhcp.  This is what I get:

eth0      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"default"  Nickname:"menfin.localdomain"
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: 00:80:C8:03:08:22  Bit Rate=11Mb/s
          Tx-Power=14 dBm
          RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:XXXX-XXXX-XX   Encryption mode:open
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:1/1  Signal level:-78 dBm  Noise level:-40 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Also, as with another post, my USB driver was sharing IRQ 5 with
driverloader; I disabled USB in the BIOS and although the USB drivers
failed to load the wireless network card still wont configure.

Help!

Thanks,
Dobes
