G'day Scott Yep the "blue light comes on", that's how I can see all the other networks. Hardware seems to work OK, just won't authenticate.
If it's an Atheros chip, how come the kernel recognises it as Realtek? I wonder if there was a chenge of chipset at some stage. This little monster has ALWAYS given me WiFi problems from the moment I bought it! 9.04 and XP are the only OS's that have worked, and both flawlessly! Just been through the AP set-up, copy/pasted the key, no joy. 3 other lappies and 1 PC seem to think it's OK :). Now here's something.... took it to work, there are some non-encrypted wireless nets at the TAFE. Connected perfectly??? Next stop McDonalds. Wonder if there's a protocol problem with my gateway? I'll set it up open /no encryption and try later! 73 de Norm, VK3XCI Mildura, Australia The Wintersun City QF15bt.
