[plug] wireless card problem

[Caleb Duggan]

ive got it working now....I think it was because i put capital letters in  
the WEP key rather than lowercase..........

it seems that i have to go into the ubuntu "network admin" utility to  
"activate" it.......is there a way of getting a shell script to do that  
instead?(ive got a shell script that i run after activating it which puts  
in the WEP key)
