Linux and Wireless Lan WEP

I have been using Linux Redhat for about a year, and feel that I know my way around this OS pretty well…however, I continue to struggle with connecting to a wireless lan with WEP. I can connect to non-encrypted wireless access points without a problem, but not access points running WEP.

I am currently using RH8 with a Netgear MA401 wireless PCMCIA card and am looking for specific instructions on how to configure my card to access a wireless lan running WEP. I have already downloaded the Linux Wireless Tools, have read through page after page of documentation, and have looked at dozens of websites on the subject, all without success.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank You…
