Hi, I installed Gutsy on my brothers laptop tonight and everything went OK, except the wireless network card doesn't seem to work too well. It can detect my network and when I select my router using Network Manager it pops up the encryption key dialog. I enter the key (i use 64Bit Hex) and the icon in the status tray shows that it is trying to connect, however, it always fails. Sometimes, after trying a couple of times, NM crashes and the laptop starts to behave wierd (i.e. System tools don't show when started, commands run in the terminal fail to execute, etc) and I have to reboot.
I don't think this is a driver issue as I am at least finding the router and it identifies that it is encrypted, but I have been stumped all night. I am using the acx driver, since this is a D-Link DWL-650+ PCMCIA card. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it be worth trying the Ndiswrapper and would that still behave OK with NM? Is Ndis as hard to configure as all the different How-Tos make out? Any help is appreciated.
