(On both the laptop and access point.)
[ Oh, wait. You're using linksys junk. If you're using encryption and
are using an ASCII key, you did properly scramble the password at the
linksys end, right (see the linksys web page for more info)? ]
[ For some inexplicable reason, the linksys stuff uses ASCII keys in a
manner different from everyone else. To convert a non-linksys ASCII
key into something that the linksys stuff will properly handle (read:
"interoperate with non-linksys equipment"), you've got to translate
the non-linksys ASCII key into hex and enter the hex values into the
linksys equipment. Whee. ]
