Hi Dave,

Try to use WEP 40/128-bit Hexadecimal in Security portion and put your
correct key. If it is still persist, you may try to configure by issuing
system-config-network command or by going to  System > Administration >
Network > New > Wireless Connection > Forward and choose your wireless
adapter then follow the rest of instructions.

Good luck!

Cheers,

-james
