You are, of course, right. Sometimes, however, I make a distinction between solving my proximate issue and solving my underlying problem. The proximate issue is that WEP isn't working on the Prism card. The underlying problem is setting up my home wireless so that all my boxen can talk over it, but neighbors and strangers are discouraged from connecting inadvertantly or vertantly. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
