I don't know about it being a typo. Setting the encryption type to 'wap'
instead of 'wep' was the only way for me to ever get a connection. Here's the
error I got trying to use 'wep':
[~]$ sudo netcfg home
:: home up - Could not set wireless configuration [FAIL]
for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Device or resource busy.
I got that error everytime, whereas when I switched to 'wap' I would
occasionally get a connection. Usually after I had spent a while online in my
windows partition researching the problem. I know for a fact that the router
is set up for wep security, which is why I'm baffled about the profile not
working.
