Well, I do think the latest kernel has improvements with wifi. However, I have a VERY frustrating site that unless I can resolve the issue, won't be seeing any Linux wifi there. :( UNfortunately, I have no say in how the LAN is setup, nor have I even been able to reach the guy who set it up. It's an off-campus university site.
There is only 1 access point that is visible by name. The access point that has to be logged into is hidden. It uses WPA and TKIP. I know the access name and password but CAN'T log on. MickySoft systems have no problem, but am unable with Network manager and 10.3 to log on.
I don't claim to be any "wiz" with wifi, so really do need some help with this one!
Thanks!

Fred, Not knowing more about your AP, there are a few tricks with /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ath0 (or your equivalent) you can try. Just make a copy of the existing file and then try setting the following: BOOTPROTO='dhcp' IFPLUGD_PRIORITY='10' STARTMODE='ifplugd' USERCONTROL='yes' WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE='psk' WIRELESS_BITRATE='auto' WIRELESS_ESSID='PUT YOUR ESSID HERE' WIRELESS_FREQUENCY='' WIRELESS_MODE='Managed' WIRELESS_POWER='yes' WIRELESS_WPA_PSK='PUT YOUR PSK HERE' Then try rcnetwork restart and use knetworkmanager to attempt to connect if it doesn't connect automatically. With 10.2 I kept several copies of ifcfg-ath0 around and wrote small scripts to swap them out for different sites. With 10.3 the caching of previous sites seems to have eliminated that need for me. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
