I have Arch installed (as a dual boot with Mandriva). I installed from the 2009/8 iso.
I have a wireless LAN with a static IP - I connect to my network with dhcp in Mandriva; I've set up rc.conf on that basis.
I follow the beginners guide both in Live CD and in the installed version.
If do iwlist it shows my card but any and all attempts to connect to the web fail.
The problem comes when I enter (my encryption is wep).
iwconfig ra0 essid "myessid" key "mykey"
It never connects and breaks any association that may have been made before that.
Ping cannot even reach my network, let alone google!
I don't have practicable wired access.
Any ideas? Is there a card or dongle I can get that works well with Arch? It looks really interesting to do and I don;t want to fall at this hurdle!
Maybe there is a way I can download Arch with kernel 2.6.31 - I gather I can just blacklist a couple of modules in rc.conf?
Thanks for any ideas/help

I remembered that I had an old rt73 which works fine.
