We have a number of Dell D620 laptops with the Dell Wireless 1390 cards, and we've found that we can't connect to the Netgear WG102 WAP unless we use the Dell utility to control the card. If we just install the drivers for the card, and control the connection with the Windows XP tool, the network shows up, it lets us say 'connect' but it never asks us for the encryption key and says that it is not connected (though the 'connect' button changes to 'disconnect').
Does anyone have any idea what might be effecting this? I have a Netgear WG624 at home that these work just fine with either way, so I'm wondering if there are some additional settings on the 102 that might be throwing them off.
Any suggestions are MUCH appreciated.
