I appreciate the info, but I'm now trying to get the WPA encryption working. I checked out the card/access point connection in another OS and it works fine... I've set the access point to use "WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK" which is defined as "This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with AES) or WPA2 (with TKIP). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase (Network key) must also be entered." The passphrase is 12345678 (for now). The SSID is SACCIS I tried: iwconfig ath0 essid SACCIS iwconfig ath0 mode Managed (which I think is redundant on this card) iwconfig ath0 key restricted s:12345678 ifconfig ath0 up At this point I should get a connection, but I don't. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
