Hi,
I'm using Akita and the same planex card as you describe and it works
with OZ and Angrstom.
I cannot say it works very well because most of the time I have to
pccardclt reset/eject/insert it, or even physically disconnect it to
make it work, but it works.
Note that if your wep key is in ascii you should use
wireless_key s:MA_CLE_WEP
But you seem to write it in hex.
Regards,
Alexandre
