Mark, The problem is that "iwconfig wlan0 essid any" doesn't do anything for me. In fact "iwconfig "iwconfig wlan0 essid whatever" doesn't do anything either.
The essid still shows a null value and access point still shows ff:ff:ff... This is driving me nuts. I've been trying to configure it for a while now. I guess I need a break from this. The solution might be simple, but I just cannot see it. Thanks you.
