card reset? none that i know of. i just pull the card out and push it back in again...

anyway,
don't you need the "MANAGED" tooltype for setprism2defualts? i am assuming that you are connecting to a router? or some form for wireless access point?

everything else is the same as mine, except i switched off WEP and all other wireless security on my router, and set the router to only except wireless connections based on trusted MAC addresses. not a problem since.

i think i got WEP to work a couple of times, but it was a pain getting it to work with my G/F's laptop. get it working with the laptop, and it would stop working with my miggy. so i found trusted MACs a better solution.

basicly just keep trying. you may need to force the router to 11mb, as i had problems with it running a dual signal of 11/54mb, and untill you can get it connected, take all the security off so you can rule that out of the question too.

IIRC mine is,
setprism2defaults SSID **** CHANNEL 6 MANAGED

oh yeah, make sure the SSID doesn't have spaces, or weird characters in it. try to keep it a-z, A-Z, 0-9. it is also case sensative.

you were trying to run a special config in the TCP/IP stack setup? you shouldn't need to do that as setprims2defaults does that for you for the wireless stuff.

good luck!

and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
