Post the device and manufaturer IDs and I might be able to help, either that 
or the chipset it's based on.

run 'cardctl info' (with the card in) and the line like "
MANFID=0000,021b" is the one you want (in this case it's a compusa $20 
rtl8139 card)

btw, anyone who gets one of the $20 or $30 compusa-brand 802.11b cards, you 
need to download the cvs and have the kernel source to compile it. (it's at 
atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net)

Another troubleshooting tip, if possible have something nearby running 
kismet, or try without WEP inititally.
