Oddly I had that problem as well with Edgy. And I couldnt get 128 WEP to do
anything at all, even if my windows did connect. I ended up dropping my WAP
back to 64 bit and then all was fine but I often had to renter the hex code.
(Which I've now memorized and Im sure I could put some more useful
information into that long term storage..)

And with Fiesty it worked fine. This was a fresh load, no upgrade, but it
worked. I had other fiesty issues, but this wasn't one. Weird.
