>the ssid appears only when your card gets connected or associated to the AP >you can see the desired ssid with wicontrol ndis0 >Jo=E3o I am not subscribed, so it took me a while to find this message, but yes, you are right, I was assuming the ssid would show up when I tried to set it and wicontrol shows the desired ssid properly. That said, the card is failing to attach itself to the network. I am using the same wpa_supplicant files I had used with a previous card, which worked. Nothing there is screwy, I think. I booted into windows today and tried and yes, it associates. I have also found another driver update for the f5d8010 online, this is the one which seems to have worked in windows and I tried ndisgen-ing off of this driver and firmware. I get c000138a unknown error messages with this one. Really, I'd sure like to know who got this card to work and with what combo of firmware and driver. I think my getting it to associate under windows rules out that the card is not having some incompatability with the router, and I still haven't ruled out whether or not I am driving it properly.
