Hi,
I don't know if you already know how to use a linux system, so that you  
can understand the command line. There are some softwares for enabling the  
wifi on shr and qtmoko, but with wep basically they never worked for me.  
However others told me on this ml about an application for shr, called  
iliwi, which works with wep if you are using dhcp on you access point, if  
i remember well it already comes with a fresh shr installation. If you  
can't use it, because don't have a dhcp server, open a terminal window and  
type following commands:


ifconfig eth0 "ipofyourfreerunner"
route add default gw "ipofyourwindowspc"
iwconfig eth0 essid "yournetworkessid" key "yourHEXpassphrase"

both IP should own to the same network class (ex 192.168.2.202 and  
192.2.200). For me, I always need to issue those commands twice for makind  
it work; I know I'm connected when the 2nd time I get :
SIOCADDRT: file exists.

Type iwconfig eth0 in a terminal, if it shows that it's associated to the  
ap/pc, you can now try to ping your default gateway, and if it works, you  
can transfer the file to your pc.

I suggest you to put all the above commmands inside a bash script to run  
when you need, it'll be faster and easier

bye
