Aieee, it's a Marvell! They're one of the bad guys in the OLPC farce: <URL:http://www.vendorwatch.org/index.php?title=Marvell> Marvell listing at Vendor Watch > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwlist wlan0 scan # > wlan0 Scan completed : > Cell 01 - Address: 00:11:A3:02:9B:27 > ESSID:"MSL" > Protocol:IEEE 802.11g > Mode:Managed > Frequency:2.437 GHz (Channel 6) Does that look like your access point?

Are you sure you're in range and the antenna is any good? (FWIW, the local AP is signal level -49dBm, one on the other side of this building is -63 and an AP in a building across the street is -75 on PCMCIA without an external antenna here, so -68 seems a bit low for a local one to me, but should work.) > I'm pretty sure the wlan is using wep not wpa (I didn't set it up). Indeed, the scan doesn't mention WPA. Hope you don't mind eavesdroppers! Have you set the wep key with iwconfig wlan0 key s:<password> ? Other than that, have a play with iwconfig and ifconfig while running a ping if you're getting any scan results and see whether it works at all.
