linux debian wireless apapter troublshooting?
Hello, I recently installed my intel pro 2200 bg wireless network adapter on Debian. It seems to work since I can see numerous wireless networks in network manager. However, when I try to connect it just keeps trying to connect and the asks me for my WEP pass phrase. I haven’t managed to connect once. What could be the problem? I know my pass phrase is correct. I am new to Linux. I went to system>preferences>network manager editor….there I entered my 128 bit pass phrase…but when I exit and check back it isn’t set to pass phrase but WEP 64/128 bit HEX …does this have something to with it or is it normal?

the way i got round this issue in mandriva on a dell lappy is to assign a static ip for the lappy,
my router is 192.168.1.1, so i gave the lappy 192.168.1.4,
then associated the lappy’s mac address with its ip address in my router
(i only allow 3 address’s, 2 pc’s and a lappy)
it then remembered the password,
don’t know why, but as far as i could tell my router was not giving the lappy an ip
hope this helps
oh – you have to be a root user
