I found an error in dmesg about negotiating encryption, googled a bit and got it to work by using "wireless_keymode open". The thing that got me stuck was that "wireless_keymode restricted" worked on another computer with a different nic, so I didn't consider it a problem. The interface comes up on boot now with auto eth1, and everything works fine. Thanks, Chris -- C. Hurschler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
