I did have a problem connecting to the AP at my university though; the driver wouldn't assosicate whatever I tried. I didn't have a chance to do some extensive testing though. It might be because of the WEP+wpa_supplicant + ca certificate method that is required to authenticate. Anyway I'll let it know if there is an actual problem with the driver itself Regards, -- -Frank Staals
