Greetings! This is my first post on these forums. I'm new to the world of Macs. Here is the issue.

We have a setup of 5 airport base stations running in my workplace. Both Macs and PCs connect to this network, most without a problem. The issues start when trying to connect with a Linksys or Netgear card. Lucent chipset-based cards connect without a hitch, but the other brands never can get connected! I get signal, and it sees the network, but when enabling 64 bit WEP (proper equivelent key in place and MAC address added to base stations), the signal is lost and there seems to be nothing I can do to make it work. Has anyone else had these problems? Any help is greatly appreciated! :)

Erik
