It's a typo.
No, of course not. That didn't even cross my mind. I thought that there must be a package that I needed and didn't have installed and spent ages trying to find it. I did eventually spot the typo because the twice you had typed it were different. But detail is genuinely difficult for me to see - I only spotted it when I thought that I must have done a typo because the package was so unfindable. > [...Snip...] > > > Selected interface 'wlan0' > > Fine. > > > Interactive mode > > > > <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS > > > > > add_network > > > > 0 > > Ok. > > > <3>CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS > > > > > set_network 0 ssid NETGEAR08 > > > > FAIL > > Look at what I typed.

But enlighten me so that I perhaps succeed in learning. I could do with knowing this in general, not just for this specific case. Thanks for the help. I either try and make a fool of myself, or learn nothing. Lisi
