Wallstreet Wireless (more info regarding problem)

[Brian Whitesides]

Okay, I tried it at 64bit encryption (I am using a Netgear MR814 router, 
which only allows disabled/64/128 so I can't fumble with the bit amount 
too much)  but anyway, here's what it looks like when my connection is 
unsecure yet working:

eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"9815"  Nickname:"localhost.localdomain"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462GHz  Access Point: 00:09:5B:D5:E3:10
          Bit Rate:11Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm   Sensitivity:1/3
          Retry limit:4   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:48/92  Signal level:-45 dBm  Noise level:-93 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:5575
          Tx excessive retries:17  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

And when I try to get the connection to work specifying the ESSID and 
the key (at 64bits) I get this in /var/log/messages:

It then continues to connect to my neighbor's unsecure network.

if anyone could give me ANY insight into the problem I'd appreciate it!
