Won't connect to a network

Postby sourwire on Wed Jun 13, 2007 1:03 am

Hello, I'm experiencing trouble with setting up my wireless adapter which is Linksys WUSB54G.
When I try to connect to a WEP network, it asks me for a password, I type it in, it tries to connect and then fails.
When I try to connect it to an unsecured wireless network, same thing happens (except for the password part of course).

This is what mintWifi.py has to say about this:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Nick Tsyukalo.
