Now it works naturally in Windows and apparently in Symbian too but unfortunately FreeBSD (6.4) picks up WPA and less secure TKIP instead of AES. Would it be possible to amend this behaviour and use better and newer protocols/algorithms/ciphers when available please ? (that is AES preferred to TKIP and WPA2 instead of WPA etc.) Thanks, Martin
