I have more and better details: I have configured the AP to non-wep and open system authmode with **Ubuntu**... and works! (ultimate and compiled NDIS and old version of bcm5.inf). Later, i proved shutting down the broadcom and set to wep and open the AP, the broadcom up, but didnt connect. Then I returned it to the previous state (non-wep and open-mode) but didnt connect anymore. I had to reboot the machine, still with Ubuntu, and the Ethereal in AP-side become crazy again. :) Next step: probe with SXDE 5/07.... It Works! Still I must verify the Afterburner option. Last 2007/08/15, you says: "I think there is a bug in inetmenu which defects connecting to AP using shared_key authmode". Also, we must to consider also WEP encryption && Open Mode?
