After a long period of bafflement, I think I have found the problem with
my dlink dwl g520 connecting to a Linksys router. The card sees the
router but will not connect.The linksys is set for WEP 64 bit encryption.
The windows setup for this card is set for 64 bit and works fine. both of
these setups use 10 hex digits, which in both help sections seems to be
standard. XWLAN 64 bit requires 5 (?) asci digits and It also seems to
accept 5 hex digits. XWLAN WEP 128 requirements are also different for the
dlink and Linksys versions. I have not tried no encription, as even if it
worked I do not want take a chance. I know WEP is not much but...
If any one knows some way to over come this problem please let me know...

It took a while, but I finally figured out that I needed to enter
hexidecimal as 0x123456789a. Otherwise, XWLAN assumes that the key is
ASCII.

Thanks for the reply. I saw that in the help files, but when I tried it I
got a value of 0x123 for any entry I tried, ( or more for a 128 entry -
still had 0x leading) will try again. You can list the profile file and
see your entry, I might try a hex editor.
Ben ...

As an off topic, ECS20rc1 installed, and is running fine on my ASUS A8N
board with AMD dualcore showing 2 processors.

A update...
I finally got the x0 to work (X0 will not), but had to use every manual
setting I could
find to finally connect. I don't know why DHCP would not work, every thing
else
connected to this router uses it. It is now working; I ran timeset to test
and got
to nist.gov and my time set.
Thanks again Chuck... Ben
