Unable to use wi-fi on Ubuntu Hoary under WEP

['Forum Post]

Hello there!



I got an older Acer Travelmate 524TX LapTop with 5.10 breezy installed
and a SMC 2635W WirelessCard in the slot. 

My access-point is an Airport-express and i have no problems using this
for internet, if i leave it "open" without WEP-code, but when i change
to WEB Code "on" (128 bit enc.) i cannot connect from the Acer LapTop
anymore.

I have typed the code with CAPS=On in the Ubuntu Network interface and
it's present in the "etc/network/interfaces" file, but it will still
not connect.

Why? What do i miss?

:(

(Everything works, of course, perfectly with my Ibook!)
