OK. I'm baffled! I see no reason it should not be working. It is
working on my laptop as I am using my wireless to send this message
and my AP does not allow non-encrypted frames.

If you put an encryption key into it, I would suggest you chmod 700
/etc/startif_wi0 . 

WEP encryption:				[ On ]
TX encryption key:			[ 1 ]
Encryption keys:			[ 0x********** ][  ][  ][  ]
