Either the WEP key entered is wrong, or the IRQ of the Toshiba is
playing problems.
Rule out number two by disabling WEP.
Then try to give a fixed IP address, and ping the AP, then the router,
then try to browse the internet. Use Tracert x.y.z.w, if you
experience problems. If this does not work, it is a hardware problem
with the PC Card installation.
Then try this WEP key: 12345; Use plain ASCII.
Then try to turn on DHCP again.
The 169.254.x.y addresss is a default address assigned by Microsoft.
