I'm really stymied with this one.

I have a Linksys WRT54G (default firmware updated, v4 model of router) which is working OK, with both wired and wireless connections. I know this because I have a Dell Latitude D600 with a Dell Truemobile 1300 Mini-PCI card inside (it's a Broadcom chip though) that connects with unencrypted and encrypted wireless (WEP, 128 digit, default key #1).

Wired works flawlessly of course.

I have my PC, for which I bought a Linksys WMP54GS, a wireless PCI 802.11g (but it states "Standards: 802.11b and g" on the box) card with "Speedbooster" technology. I have the AP set to Mixed Mode, WEP, 128 bit key, default key #1 when using encrypted sessions.

The PC won't connect via wireless to the router. It just won't. I have encryption set off or on, and my laptop can find it just fine. My PC cannot. It finds the Access Point, but won't connect. I've verified that it can find it via NetStumbler. I have updated the drivers on the PC to the set that Linksys provides on their site for the WMP54GS card. The laptop and desktop PC are side by side. The PC can "search for wireless networks" and find my access point, it just sits at "Waiting for network" and won't connect to its network and retrieve a network configuration.

Any ideas?
