I have two Linksys WMP54G cards here but am struggling to get them to do
anything other than 128-bit WEP with MAC address filtering. Even
obscuring the essid causes them to fall over.
That said they are fairly old and I am pretty lazy - there may well be a
fix out there that has eluded my infrequent attempts to move over to
256-bit WPA-PSK with MAC address filtering.
