I am obviously missing the obvious here. An IBM Thinkpad, sid, orinoco wifi card talks to the Netgear DG834G router when security is disabled, but when I turn WEP on it doesn't connect.
/etc/network/interfaces has iface eth0 inet dhcp wireless-essid Coigxxxxxxxx wireless-key xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx But ifup eth0 gives etho: New link status: Connected (0001) Listening on LPF/eth0/00:02:2d:a6:07:bb Sending on LPF/eth0/00:02:2d:a6:07:bb DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 ...more similar... No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database. Exiting. Failed to bring up eth0. Which tells me I left something out. But what?
