i have problems in connection my wifi card ipw3045 to my home's wifi network.

 Let me describe my home network:

1) Static IP
2) Restricted & Protected with WPA2 key

Now comes my problems.

1) i set all the settings in System > Administration > Network. i used the following settings
IP:192.168.1.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:192.168.1.1
Network key type: WPA2
network key: duh! should i mention this :p

After giving all the settings,i close the network windows, strangely still it does not connect :S. so i to check if I correctly entered the settings. I open System>adminstation>network again, and found that,

Network key Type: WPA(i remember i had set it to WPA2 )
Network Key: the length is increased(don't know if the key got changed , as i can't see it :D)

now after this irritating correction & I am able to connect. :)

2) Same exercise i explained above it to be done upon every reboot , so its very irritating & wastes my precious time :(

Thanks For taking pain of reading this poorly written bug report( I know i suck as writing bug reports)
