For some reason, while playing with the setup and re-reading the threads
after posting the post above, I've now got it working with 128-bit
encryption.
One thing I did different was use a WinXP/IE workstation to program the
AP, a Inexq hr054g, but whether that made any difference I don't know.
The command that finally got it working was :
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid DAP1 key s:1234567890123
Next, how's the best way to get ndiswrapper loaded at bootup? I could
simply modprobe ndiswrapper in rc.local or somewhere else, but is there
a better way?
Also, how can I now configure the laptop so that it connects to
whichever AP is in range (I have three offices and 3 differently
configured APs)
