I upgraded it.  It said "Update complete".  I tried WEP immediately
afterwards, but it still does not work.

Anything else I can try?

BTW, I only use TCP/IP.  So, NetBEUI should not be an issue.

The PCMCIA card just keeps saying "Scanning for access point" when I turn
WEP on.  I've reinstalled the PCMCIA card drivers repeatedly.
