Wireless network configuration

[James Englert]

I am attempting to setup a wireless network connection on my PC. I have
successfully set up my network adapter using ndiswrapper and can connect and
use the wireless network when it has no key set.  Its a bad idea not to have
a key on the network so I set one.  The problem is I am completely unable to
get my computer to connect to the wireless connection when the key is set. I
have tried numerous options and programs yet am unable to get it to work.
The network key is a 64bit 10 digit hex key.  The key is 0123456789.  My
network setup is (in /etc/network/interfaces)

iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-channel 8
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid dlink
wireless-key 0123456789
allow-hotplug wlan0

auto wlan0

Can anyone see anything wrong with that configuration because I sure can't?
Does anyone know of any tools help set-up wireless networks. I have tried
network-admin and NetworkManager and was unsuccessful with both.  Please
help, I would to not spend all weekend tinkering with this issue.

Thanks
Jim
