I recently upgraded my home wireless network and I'm unable to get my Cisco card in my laptop to associate to the network. When I run the troubleshooting tool in the ACU, I get very generic error messages:
"Sunday June 27 2004 14:52:02
Start test
`The radio's registry keys are OK.
C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\PCX504.SYS File Size: 119296
The radio driver has been installed.
TEST 2:
The second step is to check the radio insertion.
The radio has been inserted.
TEST 3:
The third step is to check if the radio is turned on.
Your radio is turned on.
Current Active Profile Name: HomeWirelessNetwork
Auto Profile Selection is not enabled.
TEST 4:
The fourth step is to check your client adapter's association to an access point.
---------->Association Status: Cannot get association status
Checking driver/firmware capabilities
---------->The driver/firmware capabilities are OK
Checking the received radio signal
Your client adapter successfully received messages from your access point.
Checking the current data rate.
---------->Auto Rate Selection
---------->The SSID: HomeWirelessNetwork
POSSIBLE REPAIR: Match the SSID with the access point.
---------->Network Type is Infrastructure
POSSIBLE REPAIR: Try moving closer to the access point.
---------->WEP is enabled
POSSIBLE REPAIR: Check the WEP key matches with AP."
I have verified that the SSID in my ACU profile matches the SSID on the AP. Am I missing some kind of compatability / driver issue?
Specs:
IBM T-40 laptop
Windows XP
Cisco 350 Series card
Cisco ACU v.6.3
D-Link DI-624 Access Point
WPA security enabled on AP
TIA,

To eliminate wep key issues, try first without the wep key.
Good Luck,

Srdja,
I'm not using a WEP key -- that's why this is so confusing! The security settings on both the AP and the ACU are set to use WPA, not WEP.

I should also mention that I downloaded the Windows Update patch to enable WPA.

Try without that Windows patch (for WPA). I had some troubles (couple months ago) with associating to the Cisco AP 1200 with Cisco Aironet PCM352 client card. Whem I removed patch for WPA everything went fine.
I hope this will help.
Good Luck,

I tried removing the patch but that didn't solve the problem (nor was it solved when I reinstalled the patch). Any other thoughts as to what might be going on?
