I would still use Network Manager for this.  Before NM, I had a hard time configuring WPA.

Ok there is a gui tool ... both lights are blinking on the d-link pcmcia card.  Looks like everything updated in /etc/network/interfaces and when I issue the iwconfig command.

Progress ... :)

I can ping the gateway from another computer but not my laptop .. I took down some notes on how it was configured in windows XP and I noted data encription wep enabled but do not find anything like that in the GUI tool...

Any suggestions much appreciated.

You might want to try Network Manager.  There is a gnome frontend for it as well. 

I find it extremely easy to use and to setup wireless devices.

To list the aps in range use:
# iwlist scan

If your access point does not have encryption or a mac filter on it you
should be able to do:
# iwconfig ath0 essid "Your access point's ssid"
# dhclient ath0
That will connect you to the
 access point then request an ip address.

I did a network restart but nothing.

Is there a way to list all the wifi in my area?

I sure appreciate your help
