I don't have my config right in front of you, but if wpa_supplicant works for your card you can have it set to connect on boot, and it connects to open, WEP, and WPA just fine. There's a wpa_gui client that allows you to graphically setup the connection once and then you're good to go. If you're interested I can hunt my configuration down. HTH, Wayne
