I have a WRTG54g v2.2 router using Alchemy pre7 firmware. I initially had everything setup and using WEP and it was working just fine. I then decided I wanted to move to WPA PSK, so I changed my security options and made a WPA PSK key. My problem is now that I moved to WPA I can't detect my network most of the time. I am using a Intel 2200BG MiniPCI card in my inspiron 8600. It seems I can pick up the network if I access the configuration pages through my wired desktop pc and then hit save changes and it will pop up and work ok, but as soon as I turn off the laptop or turn off the wireless then turn it back on I can't see the wireless network at all.

cliff notes:
Linksys WRT54g with Alchemy pre7 firmware
WEP -- > works fine
WPA --> can't see network usually, unless i change somehting in the configs and save changes. When I do see the network with WPA I can access it fine(ie. my keys and settings all match)
