wierd one, got a linksys 54g AP, and 1 54g pcmcia card(on a centrino notebook w/xp pro w/built in nic disabled), when wep is disabled, they communicate fine. when I use any wep on it at all(64 or 128 bit), the nic reports it isn't recieving any packets(and at the same time the on-board 10/100 nic ceases to be able to connect as well until I disable the 54g pc card), nor can I ping the AP. I've tried resetting the AP to defaults and re-configuring as well as doing the same to the pc card. I'll be able to test further at a later date with another nic and AP (later this week hopefully), but wanted to know if there are any others that have had a similar problem. this is the first issue I've ever had with linksys wi-fi equip...and I've done several installs with linksys equip.

I am having the exact same problem with my wireless config. For now I have to disable SSID broadcast and run my system open. Hope somebody finds a solution real quick.
