Whee. ] sorry. i'm not using any encryption at all. the linksys access point has very few configuration options. i've got it set to 'wireless on' and 'encyption off'. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much more in the way of options. the laptop is using default settings. encryption off, power management off, and so forth. these settings have worked fine with every other access point i've tried. -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
