I don't have an answer, but I'm starting to think that
something is wrong with the orinoco/wep configuration
in 8.0. I have an orinoco silver card and have had
nothing but trouble with its connection. This is a
card that works just fine in other distributions and
works just fine when I dual boot into windows. I've
checked all settings, posted on this list twice,
googled, entered a ticket with RH (who said that
assistance with wifi was not a part of installation
support), and one or two other people have posted
similar problems.
Anyway, if I find an answer, I'll post a "SOLVED".
Simplest solution, don't use WEP. It just slows the link down anyway. There simple scripts to quickly break WEP, so it doesn't provide any security.
Set the AP to only allow access to the MAC addresses you want and use VPN or ssh to encrypt the data *before* it gets to the WiFi card. -Thomas
