Hi Ian,
I'm just getting this:
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Running that command doesn't make the LEDs on my wireless card blink
at all. Usually when they blink out of sync it is searching and when
they blink together I'm connected. Using iwconfig via
/etc/init.d/net.ath0 does make them blink together like it's
connected, but then they stop and I get the failed message.
Any ideas? I'll try anything.
