     I was asking because, on my Wavelan card, at least, the power LED
turns on only if the card successfully negotiates a connection with the
access point.  If there's no access point, or if the network name or
encryption key is wrong, the LED won't light up (this is for BSS mode
only -- it'll light up for ad-hoc mode, but you're not using this).

     Strange.  Do you know if, during your testing, you ever set both
the network name and the IP address (statically), or was it one or the
other, and not both at once?
