[Wirelessdriver-support] SUCCESS-WEP is missing key for my Wallstreet, OS 10.2+Beta5.1 driver

[Nolan H. <wa...@ea...>]

Tom, et al,

I'm connected at last. The missing steps for me had nothing to do 
with the actual beta driver, which makes sense when I think about it.

As I reported earlier, my Wallstreet's Network panel showed a signal 
but I couldn't get to the Net even after a double install on the 5.1 
driver. The reason: I still had the AirPort itself configured for WEP 
(though I had unchecked WEP in the Wallstreet's Network panel). Went 
back to the AirPort Admin Utility, clicked Configure and UNchecked 
WEP. Once base station restarted, I went to Wallstreet's Wireless 
Config panel to make sure WEP remained UNchecked there as well.

Also, in a final flurry of unscientific method (and so this may be 
complete red herring), I went to the Wallstreet's Network panel and 
under the TCP/IP tab, made sure Configure was set to "Using DHCP" 
_and_ (here's the maybe-not-related extra step) made sure the "DNS 
Servers" and "Search Domains" boxes were BLANK.

Then clicked "Apply Now",  logged out with a restart, and, voila, I'm 
connected at last.

Hope this sheds some light for other Wallstreeters similarly stumped.

THANKS to all for help way above and beyond,
Nolan
