Great - thank you! I will try that asap. 2 questions: 1) Where do I specify, if I use open or WEP? (I don't see that in the above script.) 2) The limitation "only open or WEP" applies only while in adhoc, correct? Once I am connected via adhoc, I can update the 'real' network credentials on the WiFi page w/o this limitation just as before, right? This would be a great solution for my situation - thanks so much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimhase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107995 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
