Just give it a try. http://www.unixarea.de/wpa_gui.png matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ guru@unixarea.de, ⌂ http://www.unixarea.de/ ☎ +49-176-38902045 Aus "Nie wieder Krieg!" wurde "Nie wieder Krieg ohne Deutschlands Truppen" The "No wars anymore!" changed now to "No wars anymore without German battle groups!"
