I know you said the md5sum checked out... but it is odd that you
should get something so different.
Israel:
I now partially understand the bizarre.
The live CD I installed my systems from was not the actual release
version. It was the beta-test version, and I later installed updates to
bring the system up to current levels.
After the release, I downloaded the actual release ISO, and made a live
CD and a live USB from it.
I dug around in my waste-basket, and found the beta-test live CD, booted
it in one of the machines it worked in before, and to my surprise (and
relief), it worked fine with the wireless dongle. It was also the
network tool I was used to using.
Apparently, the release ISO either has something new replacing the
wireless configuration tools that worked (in the beta release), or there
is something missing in it.
I checked in Synaptic Package manager, and found the "wpasupplicant"
package, and also "network-manager" in the beta system.
I terminated, and re-booted the release-level live CD (in which the
wireless is still not working), and it also had those two packages.
Neither system had the "wicd" package (I had heard mentioned sometime in
the past), so that is not a factor.
Apparently it is not possible to configure a WEP wireless network on the
release live CD/USB.
Any ideas of what might be missing?
