can you explain more?
does the card see your network, and you can connect and then it disconnects again and says network avaible and so on ?
i have this problem, don't know if it's because of the wds didn't try (note wds is turned on, because i forgot to turn it off) if it work with wds turned off ?
ps the card i'm having problems with is a Intersil based minipci card.
i have no problem seeing the network
the card can also logon to the network and is shown up in the wl-500g with correct mac
it's a steady link to the network, no lose of connection
also the feature with switching to the nearest wl-500g is working
but the dhcp server doesn't give the pc card an ip wether any data is sent.
after this i connected my old router via cable to the asus wl-500g und used this one as access point for my pc card all is working again and the laptop has no problem with static ip to route to internet over the old router to the asus wl-500g...
same encryption mode (wep 128bit) and same password for the wlan. of course on another channel...
i dont see where the problem is...
i think it is the wds mode because i set one wl-500g back to factory default and used it as an ap. there the pc card was working. then i turned access filter on and the card was working again. turned on wds mode and the card could connect but no data was sent. had no time to verify this again but will do so the next days. you could check this another time with your card if you have the same "feature"
i found the problem
use the key instead of the passphrase and all is working correct
