Ron, You may have to dig into the iwconfig commands and other wireless
tools to get this working...once that happens, you should be able to
use the gui tools they provide to get the same solution.

iwconfig ath0 mode managed
iwconfig ath0 essid "myssid"
iwconfig ath0 key s:myasciikey
iwconfig ath0 enc on
iwpriv ath0 authmode 2

For example, with my current DLink Card the above commands are
necessary to get it working with WEP.

Maybe some of the commands will help you in some way.
