I will upgrade my kernel as soon as it is available. Meanwhile, I have tried to
debug the linux-wlan-ng-pre-up script.

Have any of you gotten this to work with WEP?

I ask because anything inside the conditional on line 121 is not working:

I need to change
if [ "$IF_WIRELESS_ENC" = "on" ]; then

to

if [ !"$IF_WIRELESS_ENC" = "on" ]; then

for it to even consider using a wep. IF_WLAN_NG_HOSTWEP is also improperly set,
as it should be "true" but is false when I debug it. I though it would be
useful to ask if WEP works for you before continuing on. It would seem that
ifup is not passing on the proper arguments to this script.

If WEP is not implementd correctly, the interface cannot be established (here in
my house) and therefore the device would be ignored.
