Hi Yves, yes, my distribution is of course Debian. But Your method didn't work... iwconfig doesn't work with linux-wlan-ng. Perhaps the easiest way is to change the driver... But I don't want to give in to some stupid lines of config file. It's a shame that the knoppix wlan config program does not work with linux-wlan-ng. Anyway, if anyone has some more information on where these damned keys are set it will be welcome. thanks Max -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/kCPbJfScF8bQloQRAldiAJ4mYIxJlyY7XMmYc8IKjgDP8ca4fwCgjjEJ G3J0piE23pJqilF/14PioyU= =snWp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
