"Any" input?  OK!

1) In GMail, after clicking Reply, please click the 'Plain Text' link above 
the text entry area.

2) please don't "top post" in replies.

Both topics are covered in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
which you're asked to read before posting to the lists.

3) Instead of suggesting you peruse previous threads with a link like
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=configure+wireless+site%3Alists.fedoraproject.org

try 
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch13_:_Li...


I'm partial to 'wl-assistant' (that's

# yum install wl-assistant

from the CL) to configure wireless connections, for what it's worth.

NO,

Any input will help.

Since you said you use a WEP key:

	iwconfig wlan0 essid HOME key s:string
or
	iwconfig wlan0 essid HOME key hex-characters

will probably do what you want.  Look at the man page for iwconfig.

If you use WPA, WPA-2 or stronger passphrases, look at the man pages
for wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf.

We prefer bottom-posting on this list, if you please.

If you're able to use WPA2 instead of WEP, do it.  WEP is as secure as a
wet paper bag.  It can take unskilled script kiddies mere moments to
break it.
