After I get the ipw2200 up...

Looks like a little troubleshooting has determined there's nothing wrong
with the setup--I disabled the key and it works!  But the last thing I want
is an unsecured wireless connection.  Basically, I have a WEP 64-bit hex key
for my wireless net. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alex

PS Thanks for the help
