Airport can't connect to my Router (but it does to others)

[fuchsmi]

After a few days I found out that the problem isn't my head. My Airport card is working, but its not working with my Router at home.

The Router is a Siemens SE505 Router and it works perfectly with an XP machine.

The WLAN card is a Apple Airport 802.11b and it forks perfectly (tested on a public WLAN).

But the two things doesn't work together... I've tried the latest firmware for my router. tried so switch to 802.11b only mode (it supports b and g), tried without WEP. Nothing.

The only thing I haven't tried jet is to connect via airport to the router with osX. now I have a gentoo only system on my iBook, in a few weeks I'll get a new HD, then I'll make a dualboot.

Any ideas what I can do? Do you think is the incompatibility an airport or an siemens fault?

More info would be useful - is the network name etc. set up correctly? ESSID, channel, mode of the airport card etc.

Check all these things (/sbin/iwconfig) .

Can't help any more than that I'm afraid.
