FYI for me, the 2.6.32.1-libre-lemote when combined with a backport of network-manager 0.7 - http://config.fsf.org/misc/yeeloong-n-m-backport.tgz - work well 100% of the time with both of the WPA access points I have access to at the moment. (Previously, one worked about half the time and the other not at all - lxo incidentally the novatel mifi works great now). Tonight I hope to test in the other environment I've seen yeeloong wifi suck, locations with a bunch of different APs with the same essid (such as college campuses). For network-manager 0.7, make sure that none of your external network interfaces (eth0, wlan0) are listed at all in your /etc/network/interfaces file - if they are, 0.7 will not manage them. The backport required no porting work, it's just compiled from the lenny-backports sources. If included in gnewsense (which I think it really needs to be, at least on mipsel), we'll want to verify / make sure that nothing other than the loopback interface gets stuck in /etc/network/interfaces on a clean install. Woo-hoo, working wifi! :-) Cheers, -- Daniel JB Clark | Sys Admin, Free Software Foundation pobox.com/~dclark | http://www.fsf.org/about/staff#danny
