Wrt54g2 cannot find wireless

Question

I went nuts trying to extablish a wireless connection, when I replaced my bured out wrt54g (think that was the model) with a wrt54g2.  It took over 12 hours of work and several calls to linksys support to get it sort of fixed.
Windows wasn't able to manage connectionis.  The kind of cure a linksys tech finally had come up before basically consisted of changing the ip.  I was told my broadcom card was corrupted.  It remained a PITA to establish contact if for some reason the router had to be reset.  After several hours yesterday,I figured out the real problem and a simple solution.
I didn't write down the exact name, but it appeared that we had 3 or 4 different programs trying to control/configure network connections.  One from Linksys, the Windows controller, and one or two from Broadcom.  I uninstalled the Linksys program that came with the wrt54g2.  No fix.  I uninstalled the broadcom wireless controller that I believe I installed after the connection problem was originally sort of fixed by messing with an ip.  Boom, it works slick as a whistle (even though I haven't removed the fourth "Wireless Configuration Utility".  (I note when I ty to open that one to see what it is, I get a message that "internal configuration is inconsistent".  It has an icon exactly like the icon for the broadcom utility that I deleted.  I think it is the utility that came with this older Gateway notebook.  The one deleted worked with b and g routers.
In short, get rid of all but one wireless connection utility.  (Actually, Lela or what ever Linksys calls it may have been compatible with the windows cotroller, if I didn't have that broadcom controller.  If Lela works, find, if not, try getting rid of it and just using the windows utility.

So you have already removed the Linksys Software and the Broadcom Utility from your computer and still you are not getting connected to your Network.
Whats the Wireless Security Settings you have setup on your Router?
On your computer click on Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - Right click on the Wireless Network Connection icon - Properties - and then click on the Wireless Network tab and below remove all the Networks from the List and click on OK ....
Again right click on the Wireless Network Connection icon and click on "View Available Wireless Network" and select your Network and try to connect to your Network, when prompted for network key and confirm network key and click on connect... 
Once connected to your network check if you are Online.
