Maybe there ist another problem with the WG511T hardware, let's put it
away and just talk about the integrated ORiNOCO.
After a clean boot the hardware is now up and running with WEP (I just
overtyped the key for obvious reasons):
# iwconfig eth1
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"vds" Nickname:"HERMES I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point:
00:09:5B:87:B0:F6
Bit Rate:2 Mb/s Sensitivity:1/3
Retry limit:4 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xx Security
mode:open
Power Management:off
Link Quality=23/92 Signal level=-69 dBm Noise level=-92 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
# mount /mnt/sda
# save-config -all -file /mnt/sda/config.tbz
After booting with the following params:
fb1280x1024 grml lang=at myconfig=/dev/sda
The network is down again. It seems, that eth1 is initialized and dhcp
tries to get the values *before* the `config.tbz' is read.
I have to rerun grml-network to get the WLAN working again
(configuration of ssid and key is loaded correctly). Can this be automated?

Trying to use WPA is unsuccessful, because no driver initializes the
card. Trying to use grml-network does not offer the choice for WPA.

[x] done. :-)

As far as I can see, yes. I run the ORiNOCO card with WPA with exactly
this parameters under another OS. But this is not a really grml related
issue or is there maybe a prob with a kernel mod?

I appended it to .xinitrc, but this didn't work. After some search, I
changed /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to XKEYBOARD="de". Now it's working.
