I only try to use wpa_supplicant if/when I need to deal with an AP configured to use WPA. At home, it's simple WEP; I can't get wpa_supplicant to even associate. Association was not my problem: getting a DHCP lease was. The only veariable (other than changes in the software over time) was the use of different APs. And for whatever it's worth, when Julian was doing a vimage demo using my laptop last night (BAFUG -- www.bafug.org), the iwi0 NIC of the laptop both associated with and got a DHCP lease from my 3rd AP (the little portable one -- ZIO is its brand name). That was running head at r199220M. (Though in that case, since I set the AP up for the whole meeting to use, I did not use WEP -- I left the AP wide open.) Peace, david -- David H.
