I've tried no change, just removing the "key abcde12345" part, and altering to "essid any". all fail. i have turned off all security related options I can find on the router (it's a linksys wag54g if that's helpful... ) and still same result.
tomorrow i can try getting it going on the work router which is a different model (and will need different settings in the interfaces file of course). will be good to see how that goes if i get no further tonight.
