Hi (again)

I'm now on Linux Mint on my main PC (Debian previously) and so far I am quite impressed, it seems to be quicker...

But I have a major problem with the wireless card. It's funny because I usually have problems getting my usb wireless to work through ndiswrapper but that works no problem at all!

My network card is a PCI Edimax EW something or other which uses the RT2860 driver but for some reason the network-manager doesn't connect me to the network (good job).

The only way I can connect to the network is by typing in the following commands each time I login

Code:
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=WEP
iwconfig ra0 essid BTHomeHub-2E74 key XXXXXXXXXX
dhclient

No matter what I do it will not connect unless I run the above iwpriv command!

Even after I've typed that in and connected successfully to the network then go into the network manager (network-manager-gnome) disconnect then try and re-connect using it it fails to pick up my hub!

At the moment I've done away with the network-manager as it's useless.


How do I fix this?

Any takers?
