Greetings.

I am unable to get the USR 5416 working with 256-bit WEP keys. I have
successfully gotten the card working with 128-bit keys. However, if I
try a 256-bit key, I get the following error message when typing "ifup
eth1":
---------------------
[root at penguin network-scripts]# ./ifup eth1
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.
 
Determining IP information for eth1... failed.
---------------------
Is this a bug in driverloader, or wireless-tools, or...?

System info:
	Fedora Core 1 on Athlon 1200
	USR 5416 802.11g card
	wireless-tools-26-1

Here's the output from dldrconfig --info (omitting license info):
---------------------
[root at penguin network-scripts]# dldrconfig --info
Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 1.54
 
Web configurator: listening on 127.0.0.1:18020
 
Current parameters: ("dldrconfig --info")
 
Wireless interface name: eth1
        MAC address    : 00:C0:49:D7:51:CA
        Device instance: PCI-0000:00:0b.0-104c:9066-010d:16ec
        Device driver  : usr11g
----------------------

And here's the output from iwconfig --version:
----------------------
[root at penguin network-scripts]# iwconfig --version
iwconfig  Version 26
          Compatible with Wireless Extension v16 or earlier,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v15.
 
eth1      Recommend Wireless Extension v11 or later,
          Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v15.
----------------------

The driver I'm using is the updated driver downloaded from usr's web
site for the card (version 08/29/2003,4.0.40.4).

If there's any further info I can give to assist tracking this error
down, please let me know.
