Okay, the adventure continues :-)

With this help, I've now got a mostly-working network connection.
Mostly-working means if I turn off WEP encryption on my router, it works
fine, but with it on, it doesn't work.

I've made the following additions to my interfaces file:

auto rausb0
iface rausb0 inet dhcp
    pre-up /sbin/iwconfig $IFACE key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX key open
    pre-up /sbin/iwconfig $IFACE essid WIRED=20

The X's are replaced by the 26-character hex WEP key. So, if I remove the
first pre-up line, and turn off WEP on the router, everything works fine.
With it like this, when I issue:

# ifup rausb0
udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started
Nothing to flush.
RT25usb  Driver version 2.0.8=20
#=20

The Link light comes on, the Activity light flashes, and then they both =
go
out.

# ifconfig
rausb0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:5B:6E:B6:2E =20
          inet6 addr: fe80::219:5bff:fe6e:b62e/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:153 errors:4 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:173 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000=20
          RX bytes:2915694 (2.7 MiB)  TX bytes:266780 (260.5 KiB)

When I turn off WEP, I get this:

# ifconfig
rausb0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:5B:6E:B6:2E =20
          inet addr:192.168.1.104  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::219:5bff:fe6e:b62e/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:327284 (319.6 KiB)  TX bytes:9578 (9.3 KiB)

Am I missing something stupid?

Thanks,
Jon
