almost got my wifi card working in linux, wierd problem tho
I almost have my wifi working, but i still have one problem: i can connect to certain waps, but not others. so for example, i can connect to this one and use dhcpcd to get on the network, use the internet and everything(my neighbors said i could):

if i try to run dhcpcd eth2 it just hangs for a long time. the only major differences i can see between these two waps are their protocol: the one i can connect to is using IEEE 802.11bg and the other uses IEEE 802.11b, bit rate: one is 11 mb/s, the other 54 mb/s(this shouldn't make a difference, should it?), and the one i can connect to has more extra rates.
i can use the linksys wap fine from windows on this laptop(i'm dual booting). anybody have any idea what might be wrong?
