[wellylug] Help with wireless & WRT54G

[Bret Comstock Waldow]

Hi

I'm trying to get my T42 (Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG) to connect with my 
Linksys WRT54G using Kubuntu Breezy 5.10.

The connection works fine via cat5 cable from the onboard ethernet adapter.


I am using WEP (I'll get to WPA once I've figured this out).  I copy my key 
from the Linksys administrative page, and the link appears to happen, but I 
can't get DHCP to assign an IP.

Here is the report:

This is /etc/network/interfaces:
root at ganesha:/etc/network# cat interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo

netmask 255.0.0.0

# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface

auto eth0

iface eth1 inet dhcp

Was it something I said?

Thanks in advance,
