Re: WEP, Linksys, and an EEE
If I remember correctly, and don't quote me on this, you might have to do a little research, but I think as far as networking goes, I think network-manager doesn't play the nicest on the older distributions. Hardy is a little funny yet at times, but it's worth an upgrade or three.
After all, it does this...

I did have the regular wifi working (with no encryption) and updated ubuntu and restarted. Wifi doesn't work at all. I'm downloading 8.04 right now, hopefully that will help.
Re: WEP, Linksys, and an EEE
What model is the Linksys router?
What kind of wireless card do you have? (If you are unsure, post the output of the command below and post it here)
Re: WEP, Linksys, and an EEE
Well, I d/l 8.04 and installed it. I got the wireless working with this page: http://ubuntu-eee.tuxfamily.org/inde...l_Ubuntu_Hardy
I then got the WEP working using the HEX password. I forget where exactly I read it, but apparently different wireless cards/router manufacturers use different encrypting sequences for WEP so using the passphrase didn't work.
