Huh? OK, try (as a long shot) iwconfig wlan0 essid "Any" channel 1 mode Managed rate auto enc £kings$6..,. You're using the prism2 driver, yes? Do you have a wlan.conf file knocking around in /etc/pcmcia? I did mess around with the prism drivers a while ago, but I can't remember exactly how they set things up. Hang on .. .. I'm just looking at the latest wlan drivers. In the PCMCIA directory there are 3 files .. wlan-ng, wlan-ng.conf and wlan-ng.opts .. do you have those? sjb
