Just to confirm, I am using the bcm43xx module with the 2.6.17 kernel 
and it all works fine except for a problem I have with getting it to 
start automatically at boot time (I guess I should start another thread 
about that).  But Jerry is right, before you start worrying about 
whether your adapter is configured correctly you should try and find out 
as much as possible about how your access point is set up.

Cheers,

James.
