WiFi with mandrake

[dmorin at lear.morinfamily.com (Duane Morin)]

Ok, I replaced my laptop's hard drive and while I was at it upgraded to 
Mandrake 9.1.  I'm trying to get wireless working but something seems to 
have changed.  On my old machine (Mandrake 8.x) I had an interface wlan0 
configured, and kept eth0 for my Xircom ethernet card.

Mandrake 9 seems to detect my wireless Netgear card, but wants to call it 
eth0.  I can live with that.  The problem is that it's not working and I 
can't just copy my old scripts from the other box because they're all on 
wlan0.

In particular, the setup wizard wants me to specify a bunch of wireless 
parameters to be associated with the network device, such as NWID, FREQ 
(but no CHANNEL, which I would have expected) and WEP KEY.  In particular 
I know my wep key but don't know what format it wants me to type it in.

I've been googling around for some help but haven't found anything yet.
