Linux Wireless Config!

Hi all,

I'm running Knoppix 3.3 w/ Kernel 2.4 on my linux box with a built in PRISM based card. At home, I do not have WEP encyrption enabled, therefore, as soon as I put in the ESSID from iwconfig, the card functions perfectly. However, at work, where the 128-bit encyrption IS enabled, I cannot seem to associate with the network. The strange thing is, with the same 26-bit HEX key, my computer connects to the network flawlessly with Windown XP.

Thus, this rules out the possibility of a faulty driver, an incorrect ESSID or an incorrect WEP key. I have included portions of some relevant logs.

Any help would be appreciated.
