This may/may not be of help as I have a different device. You will need to adjust the settings to suit the specs of your device and router. ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 mode managed iwconfig wlan0 essid ******* iwpriv wlan0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK iwpriv wlan0 set WPAPSK= ************* iwpriv wlan0 set EncrypType=AES dhclient -- rob http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=82BS4ZCMFR1
