For some reason I don't have cardctl, and I can't seem to figure out what package its in
However when I had ubuntu installed on here, I ran cardctl and it showed up as pcmcia, so I suppose it is one

I believe the ethernet pro is the wired network, not the wireless...
]]>lspci
If you don't have this command, install the package pciutils:
pacman -S pciutils
Could this whole thing be caused if my wireless card isn't being properly detected? How would I check to see if it is?
Thanks for everyone's help so far
]]>But when I run lsmod, they still appear, even after rebooting several times...

Here's the output if iwconfig, in case that will help. I just tried setting the key on wifi0 instead of on wlan0, but that gave the same error.
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

where <wep_key> is your encryption key.
The term "restricted" means that your access-point is configured to accept only encrypted sessions.
Try also this:
iwconfig wlan0 key <wep_key>

]]>From what I can figure out, it uses and orinoco chipset, and the driver was auto detected, but I think its using the orinoco_cs driver with pcmcia. If I run:
lsmod | grep orinoco
orinoco_cs
orinoco orinoco_cs
hermes orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia orinoco_cs,hostap_cs
I don't know if that will help, but its about all I can find out.
Sorry I'm so inexperienced with linux
]]>I successfully set the essid, but when I try to set the key, it gives me this error:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
Set failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
The command I tried when it gave me this was:
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted [1] 11111111111111111111111111
My network has a 128 bit wep encryption key (that isn't it), but I couldn't find any examples of how you enter the key. I use hex for it, but it still doesn't work.
I'm sure there is something incredibly simple I'm missing here, but I have no idea what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated
