I ran the upgrade and the installation was successful.  However, WEP
still does not work.

I did notice that there is a new pulldown specifying the width of the
encryption.  As it turns out, I was already using 64 bit, so this should
not matter.

I've heard very little in response for my PCMCIA card's technical support.
The problem may be the card.  Do you know if anyone else has this kind of
card (Gigafast)?  If not, is there a list of PCMCIA cards that are
compatible with this Linksys router?
