Here's the entry I have in /etc/pccard.conf for the WPC11 card (WEP keys obscured of course): # Linksys WPC11 802.11b network card card "Instant Wireless " " Network PC CARD" config auto "wi" ? 0x10000 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -p 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -f 9 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -n "john_network" insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x1111111111 -v 1 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x2222222222 -v 2 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x3333333333 -v 3 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -k 0x4444444444 -v 4 insert /usr/sbin/wicontrol -i $device -e 1 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop I have the same AP as you, and it is working fine for me even over fairly long distances (for example, I am currently down in the laundry at my apartment complex!).
