One problem I've occasionally had is that I needed to change the key type
when the key window popped up to say 64-bit hex or whatever.  You might
want to try that.

What wireless network card do you have?  The brand and serial number are
useful to a certain extent, but we need a little more detail than that.  If
it's a built-in or PCI one, you can open a terminal and type:

	sudo lspci -vv

if it's a USB wireless card, you need to do:

	sudo lsusb -v

you should in either case get a stanza relating to each pci or usb device.
If you can paste it into the email that'd be a help.

What USB devices have you tried?  In general, USB storage devices should
work fine.  Not _every_ USB device has drivers, but most do.
