First - thanks for providing a great site. I am all very new to this, but I am learning a lot by reading your tutorials. I am trying to make tinkernuts version of the Wifi radio - as this is a big enough learning curve for me. I realise this forum isn't specifically for his version, but as his forum is read only, and as the problems I am having are with the Asus WL-520GU, I am hoping some of you guys may be able to help me.
I have followed along to the youtube clip right up until the point where I enter this command : /etc/init.d/network restart
After this - nothing happens. The air light doesn't light up - which I presume would indicate is that its not connected to my wireless network.
I have tried many different versions of router, network IP address - but nothing seems to work. I am NOT even sure if I am using the correct router or network addresses. In a similar post on these forums, a suggestion was made to change to WEP encryption - which I have done. I have also run ifconfig and taken a look at the addresses there. Still no joy.
As I am a newbie with all of this, I bet it is a simple problem, so i am kinda hoping someone may be able to help.
Here are my settings - note I have blanked out my password for my wireless network:

Thanks again for considering to help me here. This is a very exciting project - because it is pushing me well outside my comfort zone re computer stuff and I am learning a lot....
