In truth my experience has been very limited.
I have only used Lucent Wavelan cards so I've never installed Lantern
Patch or More Wifi.
I have used several different wifi routers, no real difference that I
see.

It looks like you have chosen the correct wavelan driver.
Do you need both Lantern Patch and More Wifi? If not that may be the
problem.
As far as I know the SSID and Wep can only be entered into the Setup
window form the cards dialog window. In this window you will also
select WEP Key hexadecim not string and then tic the use WEP option
and enter the 10 digit hex key.

You can make any number of setups for the same card, but the SSID and
WEP key will need to be changed manually in the card setup when you
insert it ictap the card icon in extras, Avi's or what ever you use.

What card are you using?

I have always let the router assign ip address and only did a manual
setup to bypass the router and connect directly to an airport card in
my laptop.

-60088 seems to be an error at connecting to the router so I would
confirm that the SSID and WEP were correctly entered.

Good luck

Woody
