Another tip that might be useful here is that recent versions of OS X do 
not do well with older firmware that might be on your linksys.  Once you 
get the WEP thing settled, if you notice a *lot* of dropped 
connections/need to restart the router, updating the firmware with the 
latest should fix this.  Obnoxiously, Linksys provides lame support for 
Macs, so you might want to do this from a Windows box, but you can use 
tftp under OS X to do a firmware update as well.
