Hi John,
Your wireless card doesn't support WEP in any shape, form or bit
rate. If your home network still has WEP enabled then your in a no go
situation unless you:
a. turn off WEP and use MAC address filtering instead so you have
some security
OR
b. change your wireless card for one that does support WEP (Orinoco
Silver or Gold) and register Hirosihi's driver
You need to put in the SSID of your wireless network in the config
for the wireless card. Has to be exactly the same as the "name" of
your wireless network. Check the wiki for a screenshot I think.
hope this helps.
regards
Andrew
