Try the minimal approach first and configure it manually using ifconfig/route and ping some host on your network (or the AP if it does IP). If that does not work, there's something wrong with the driver, if it does, the culprit is dhcpcd (vram USE flag?). Start with WEP, if that works switch to WPA. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
