Do you have to have a key..."key MYHEXPASS".... or can you leave this
out? Also will this work in Gnome? I am having problems with my Toshiba
laptop getting on line. 

I have a Netgear WG511 card. I think it sees the card, but DHCP does
not seem to work. 



I was able to get the built in lan to work though.



I am looking for some way to get my wireless to work.



Any help will do. 

Aloha, Ron
