Well, it works at home but not at work, so I don't have much information beyond what they can tell me. I'll try to find someone who knows more, but as far as I can tell it's nearly identical to what I have at home: a single WAP with a broadcast SSID using WPA Personal, even using the same (cheap) Linksys hardware. What really confuses me is that the NIC works fine at work *if* I run wpa_supplicant manually; it only seems to fail when NetworkManager is controlling the NIC. So, yeah, it seems like the difference is with NetworkManager and/or wpa_supplicant, but I have no idea what that difference is. (Also, to head off the upcoming "just don't use NetworkManager": this laptop is eventually going to someone who'll be roaming a lot more than I do, for whom constantly editing wpa_supplicant.conf isn't really an option. Wicd doesn't support VPN connections, so NetworkManager seems to be my only option :\) --Mike
