Hi,
Here is what I did
1. After iwconfig, I got this errorCode:ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scan iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key WIRELESS_KEY
2. I also try to see if it is to use an ascii key, so I added the “s:” prefix to my key asInternet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
But it will give errorCode:iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ID key s:WIRELESS_KEY
3. Do I have to specify the type of the wireless network: WEP WAP etc? I am able to access several wireless networks: WEP, WAP and open without password.Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
4. When I connect to the open wireless network, "iwconfig wlan0" gives "Access Point: Not-Associated".
Does this mean the connection to the wireless network fail? But I still can surf on the internet.wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"bell"
