Has anyone been able to get wireless working in Redhat 9? I have tried a Netgear MA401 card and an Orinoco Gold. Configured the card with neat, but iwconfig shows the encryption key as being off even though I set it up in neat.

When I run ifup eth1 I consistently get the error "SET failed on device eth1, invalid argument." The modules for orinoco_ps are loaded.

What am I doing wrong? Doing a search reveals that this is a common problem but few have reported actually solving it...

Is there another module for the card that I should install?

Got it working by putting 0x before the encryption key in neat and doing "service pcmcia restart"

For some reason this didn't come up in my search of the forum last night but it did today.
