Encryption incompatibility
Does anyone maintain a list of incompatible wireless cards?
I have just bought a cheap Edimax PCI 54g card and a cheap Actiontec ADSL router.
Everything else I've got interfaces fine with the router, including a Linksys USB 11Mb, the built in 54g module in an Acer laptop, an old Buffalo
11Mb PC card and my printer server (also Edimax). They all work up to the level of security for which they were originally designed.Unfortunately the Edimax PCI card will only talk unsecured (which works fine). It won't work with 64bit or 128bit WEP or WPA. They just say "Acquiring network address" for several minutes and end up with a crappy
169.x address.Have I any chance of getting this card to work, or should I just send it back and try another make?
