[Wirelessdriver-support] WEP probs -- SMC barricade and engenius card in TiBook

[mme. v. <vol...@ho...>]

setup:
Titanium Powerbook
SMC wireless barricade router
engenius card (as touted in 
http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,55742,00.html)
Jaguar

internet access with WEP disabled.

when i select encryption, the pull down menu options on network 
configuration are:
    Airport Password 40 bit
    airport Password 128 bit
    with hex key
    convert text to hex key

I choose "airport password 128 bit" and type in the #s i entered in the smc 
page. regardless if i enter them as numerals or with a $ before them, when i 
hit 'apply', the pull down menu jumps to 'with hex key' and translates it 
into a gobbledy gook of numbers and letters. and though the signal is great, 
internet does not work anymore. i do have MAC limiting on (had it on for 
disabled encryption, too.)

when i try to reinstall, it says i cannot install the wireless preference 
pane.

any ideas? thanks in advance for any advice!
