   I just bought a SMC2532W-B wireless card. plugged it into the slot & now I
have ifconfig with lo ok & iwconfig wlano up. I do not have a connection to the
internet yet, I figure something in conf is not set right. The wired lan when I
use it has a 192.168.0.101 from dhcp given to it. I took that out for now &
rebooted system. cardctl ident has it displayed to a tee & both pwr and
connection light are on.

   I have gentoo 2.4.20r8 on a Dell Latitude CPx650. I do have a question here.
On my router there is a place to set encryption keys, 4 each. Now this is for the
64 bit / 128 bit encryption. Is there a standard type or range of numbers used
here or what ever you like.  I assume the numbers here must match those in
wlan.conf. SSID, on router it is defualt, should that be used in system conf
files or is there something else to use, this machine will be used in multi
locations.  Many thanks to any & all help

cheers
