Silly me... following standards and all.
I've actually had a similar problem. In my case, it was a B/G thing. I can't remember the details, unfortunately, but the deal was basically like yours: I can connect to some (in my case, most) WiFi points but not others *including the one inside my house*. That's if I put the router in "G, with B emulated" (or whatever tomato calls it) mode. If I go in "true B" mode, I can connect fine. On a road trip last year, I was UNable to connect to about 1 in 5 access points. The error output was singularly unhelpful, so I made zero progress in figuring anything out. I don't know if those hotels had the same "emulated B" thing going on or if it was a standards thing or what. This was Linux Mint (whatever the latest was in summer of 2012) on some unknown but quite old laptop hardware. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
