OK I've got the box working... I found a 16bit Netgear card. Since this doesn't use cardbus all I had to do was edit /etc/pcmcia/config file for this card and poof I'm up. One question though how do I generate the key for WEP? I'm using MAC address control right now. but I'd love to know the rest. The wireless Howto kinda glosses over this.
