internet on openSuse 10.3

Hello there
The problem that I'm having is my old pentium 3 computer, which I replaced Windows 2000 with openSuse 10.3, does not have internet access. I got ndiswrapper and installed the windows drivers that came on the windows install disc, as well as configured it to work.My linksys router uses a WEP password. The setting that the key was at is passphrase. What can I do to fix this?
thanks for any help.

Hi,

You can use iwconfig at the command prompt to set the WEP key.

iwconfig eth1 key "passphrase"


Where eth1 is your network adapter, and passphrase is your WEP key.
