Tried your suggestion above, but it didn't help. Make sure that you have not built/modprobed the ath5k kernel module which > may > clash with madwifi-ng.

No harm in asking the obvious, even if I don't know enough for this to be obvious to me. I assume that I would have to tell my wireless router not to encrypt, and that I would have to make some adjustment in /etc/conf.d/net or /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to turn encryption off. Any advice on how to do this? John
