 > Does it work if you set the WEP key manually with iwconfig?
 Well, it's weird. I tried to run iwconfig and the dhclient and it didn't
 get an IP (no one was displayed in ifconfig). But after few minutes, he
 magically get one and network was working fine.

 > Does 'iwlist scan' even work?
 yes

 > What kernel output do you see after {{{echo 0x6184 >
 /sys/module/libertas/parameters/libertas_debug}}} and then trying to set
 the key?
