DSL gives me conflicting network info.

I am using Netgear MA401 v2.5 w/Orinoco chipset. I am running DSL on a Dell Latitude CPi. The card works in my other Dell CPi running CentOS 4.0

PC Card Control: sees it.
Netcardconfig: No supported network cards found.
wlcardconfig: No wireless card found.

iwconfig setup:
device: eth0
channel:6
sid: (whats this. what do I input here?)
wep: (whats this. what do I input here?)

sid = essid = your wireless AP's name
wep = your Wired Equivalent Privacy key, if your wlan is encrypted

Access Point, it's your router most likely. You can see all these in CentOS's network manager..thingy. Don't know, haven't used it :p

If not, iwconfig in centos should show you.
