Morning all, here's where we're at. Wireless card is a realtek RTL8187SE Kernal driver in use is r8180 Kernel module is rtl8187se It sees all the wireless networks around me, 3 all together My wireless is 64bit WEP shared key. (lowest common denominator) I have installed the non-free package. Tries to connect but fails with no error message.
