I have a Dlink DWL-660 using the orinoco_cs/orinoco/hermes modules, and
I use iwconfig to set my encryption key. So I politely disagree.
More likely its the "unsupported card" message thats causing it.
According to my refs the Netgear MA 401 RA card uses a Prism 2 or 3
chipset.... perhaps the prism modules might be a better bet ?
