No, I really don't think its the MAC address. We got names like 'activity palza' (should have been plaza but its fed wrongly); cafeteria, mess, library All these have the same 64bit WEP key. Atleast this much I know for sure. When I click on KNetworkManager, I get the available networks and I select the one I want to connect to, but connection doesnot happen. I have even tried giving static ip address just in case, but that also didn't help. When I was using windows on the same machine, I didn't face this problem.
I feel your pain. WiFi on linux appears to be less mature than on Windows.
You said you select the one you want to connect to. Did you type in the password? Did you try different options in the select list?
So I am very sure either its the driver or the configuration or if it is possible then the network doesnot accept linux systems. I have installed IPW2200 firmware. Shall I try with ndiswrapper. I have an Intel pro2200 bg wireless card.
No, that wouldn't help, in my opinion. Since the Intel chipset has native drivers, you'd only be adding a layer of translation on top of yoru system. If the driver works, it is an issue with either your config or the network.
Oh, and when you get to it - a fantastic reason to have Linux is the new GL Matrix screen saver. I'm watching it right now on my laptop, and it is mesmerizing!

remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request Yes, I have tried all options and I am entering the correct passwords. Anyways, I shall wait for my meeting with that guy. I hope it works out. Since, the admin is also not very comfortable with Linux, is there anything
