WPA-PSK with Cisco 350

Tags:

GNOME

Hi, very much a noob so please - go slow. I'm also assuming this is the correct forum

Ok, I have installed debian 5.0.1 (Lenny?) and am having some problems with networking. I have read most of the threads surrounding this but if I've missed something really obviously then - sorry :)

Anyway, the crux of the problem is this: I cannot get laptop to connect to anything other than unsecured wireless networks. I have wpa-supplicant installed. I feel that one large problem is that with gnome network manager I only have the option of LEAP for wireless security and wpa-eap for key management. My router is using wpa-psk. I am now somewhat at a loss as how to proceed so any help would be greatly appreciated.

PC Specs:

IBM Thinkpad R40
Intel P4 mobile 2Ghz
512Mb RAM
Cisco 350 WIFI card

Many thanks
