I've tried re-installing the nic but this still doesn't work. As the wireless network can be detected, the nic should be working. I'm led to believe it is a software issue which doesn't make sense to me. Any take on this guys?

Is the WAP using security that would require you to know the key? Is the WAP running DHCP? Is the WAP using MAC filtering? Have you tried connecting at an open public wireless access point like Barnes and Noble, Atlanta Bread, etc.?

Hi, I have an excellent signal, i know the wep key, using dhcp and DON't have mac addressing enabled. I have not tried an open wap but my neighbour has managed to connect to my wap. Hope thats clarified things a bit.
