Atheros AR5001 continually asking for WEP key - Fedora 14

[mrjcdenton]

Hi everyone.

I am a new user to Fedora (and these forums! ) and I'm just having a bit of trouble with activating my wireless card (see title for details).

I spent a good portion of last night on the #fedora IRC and there were great suggestions by a few people, but unfortunately none of them worked.

These suggestions were:

rfkill - I installed it but nothing was soft / hard blocked (whatever they mean). I did the rfkill unblock command anyway but it didn't appear to change anything

Tried doing it manually through system-config-network but this yielded no luck either.

Basically all it does is continually ask for my WEP key, even though I've typed it in correctly a million times.

Please don't ask why I don't have WPA2 because I do not have the ability to change it

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Really looking forward to an answer!

See this thread. It may help to get your atheros card working. I've helped many people with these cards as it is the same card that I have and I had many problems trying to get it to work at boot.

You also could just do a search on my user name to see a list of my posts pertaining to this card.
