4 Hello!
5 I try to setup a wireless card to my gentoo box, but I can't set it:
6 the net is with a wpa-key (type tkip). The SSID is Super S and when I
7 configure it so:
8 #iwconfig wlan0 essid "my SSID" nick "Cinzia" key wep-key
9 after that I read with iwconfig:
10 # iwconfig wlan0
11 wlan0 IEEE 802.11b+/g+ ESSID:"my SSID"
12 Mode:Managed Channel:1 Access Point: 00:00:80:F9:37:03
13 Bit Rate:268.501 Mb/s Tx-Power:268500993 Sensitivity:24937
14 Retry:on Fragment thr=256 B
15 Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx Security
16 mode:restricted
17 Power Management:on

19 But if I do
20 #dhcpd wlan0
21 the card doesn't try to contact the router (no log) and in dmesg:

95 It is a card problem and a setup problem? The card uses experimental acx
96 driver (it is a AVM Fritz! WLAN USB)
97 Thanks a lot,
