IBM Thinkpad T41 Cisco Airo MPI350 802.11b Wireless PCIID: 0x14b9 0xa504 Kernel: Fedora rawhide 2.6.1-1.57 (Based on 2.6.2-rc1)
http://bellet.info/~bellet/laptop/t40.html#wireless http://bellet.info/~bellet/laptop/airo.c-2.6.1-mm2.diff airo.ko does not support this Airo device, but with the addition of this patch it recognizes the device.

I am guessing that the *'s rather than hex characters displayed are because it is unable to read the key from the card. The card itself appears to be completely inoperative. It was suggested to me to try both "open" and "restricted" mode, both seem to not help the situation.
Any suggestions?
