Clearly something is not right:

~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags  Iface
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U      usb0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U      eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.0.200   0.0.0.0         UG     usb0

(I removed the Metric, Ref and Use columns, since they are all zero)

Apparently the GUI adds double quotes to the key...

----------------------------------------------------------
# ifup eth0
sed: unrecognized option `--quiet'
BusyBox v1.11.1 (2008-08-05 02:00:09 CEST) multi-call binary

Usage: sed [-efinr] pattern [files...]

WPA: Configuring Interface
Line 9: Too long WEP key 0 '"3a9b7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxefad62a'.
Line 9: failed to parse wep_key0 '"3a9b7xxxxxxxxxxxxxxefad62a'.
Line 11: failed to parse network block.
Failed to read or parse configuration
'/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf'.
wpa_supplicant: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant daemon failed to start
----------------------------------------------------------

The error disappeared when I removed the quotes around the key in
wpa_supplicant.conf ... 

This is a bit frustrating:

----------------------------------------------------------
root at om-gta02:~# ifup eth0  
ifup: interface eth0 already configured
root at om-gta02:~# ifdown eth0
cat: can't open '/var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid': No such file or directory
root at om-gta02:~# touch /var/run/udhcpc.eth0.pid
root at om-gta02:~# ifdown eth0
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
----------------------------------------------------------

But aside from that, now I get this:

----------------------------------------------------------
root at om-gta02:~# ifup eth0

I have also tried iwconfig with no luck....
Adding the IP of my router or openDNS nameservers to resolv.conf, does
not help either...

Any ideas?
