Description A. Person 2006-02-23 12:46:27 UTC 
The latest madwifi-driver connects to the WPA, WEP, and unencrypted wireless routers I've tried just fine, except for one.  The following madwifi-driver packages are currently in portage:

0.1443.20060207
0.1440.20060206
0.1420.20060201
0.1401.20060117
0.1_pre20050420-r1

and the ONLY one that will connect to the WEP AirPort router at my housing complex is 0.1401.20060117.
