Thanks for the pointer to wpasupplicant package. That was useful. I have to go around from one file/document/readme/package to another to figure out the whole thing. The documentation is very haphazard without providing a clear overview. The whole wireless configuration is a mess to say the least. I was able to make it work in the end, but I had to spend one whole day to solve the mystery. Compare that to setting up wireless in Windows which I managed in less than 10 minutes :-) Anyway, I have surmised the instructions in http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2008/03/accessing-wpa-wireless-networks.html Hopefully it helps someone to get wireless up and running in no time. regards raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
