AIR light does not turn on (Help)

[regiscruzbr]

Im working on my WL-520GU but I stoped on step 4 becouse my AIR light never turn on, I guess that my problem is in my Wifi configuration. In my case I did like this:

config wifi-device wl0
option type broadcom
option channel 2

# REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
# option disabled 1

config wifi-iface
option device wl0
option network lan
option mode sta
option ssid BRASILNET
option encryption wep
option key xxxxxxxxxx

And my lan network is like this:

#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
#option type bridge
option ifname "eth0.0"
option proto static
option ipaddr 192.168.1.1
option netmask 255.255.255.0


My Lan it's ok, allways I ping 192.168.1.1 and it answered, but I still have no Wifi.
I think that my problem is the kind of authentication that I using in my network (see image attachment -
This is how I configured my laptop to work on my network via Ubuntu.).
How can I configure my WL-520GU to work in my network?


PS: I'm not a Mac user, so I decide to use Linux to configure my router, but also i'm not a Linux expert... So may be it can be my failure.

Thanks

If the AIR light is not turning on, the router is not connecting to your wireless network (as you correctly deduced).

Your config files look correct. It's probably an issue with the wireless channel or the WEP key.

Verify the channel is set to the same channel your wireless network is using, in this case you have it set to 2.

Make sure the WEP key you are using is in HEX format.

Thanks!!! You is right!!!

My WEP was in ASCII, I changed to HEX and now it's working.

Also I was with another problem, my USB card (SJ-588 from China) does not work on WL-520gU. I tried to solve in many ways but without success, then I decided to buy a USB card that you suggested.
The user Stig Hess gave an excellent suggestion to solving the problem of the SJ-588 that I want to try soon. (See the Comments section)

Any way, the important is that it's already making noise!

thanks guys

Awesome, glad you got Wi-Fi working!

Sorry to hear you are having problems with some USB adapters. I have only done testing with the SYBA brand USB audio adapter, since it was the cheapest I could find on Newegg. The version of mpd that is included on this site is not compiled with ALSA support, so I'm not sure if mpd will work even if you install the kmod-alsa module using Stig's instructions. The reason I did this was to save flash space on the router.
