How do you know that the wireless is correctly detecting available networks? On my system, I run "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" to display available networks. I can also use the "Network Manager" GUI utility (this is ubuntu though :-( ) to see the available networks. AFAIK if you say you are able to see available wireless networks, then it basically means that your wireless driver and firmware(if any) is loaded fine. Can you post here the outcome of "ifconfig -a" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
