I think I didn't reply correctly, here is follow-up again:
Thanks for responding. I do not know how to avail me of this fix you referenced.

This is what I copied from my working system (mimicing the instruction parameters) was: network={ ssid="XXXXXXXXXXX" psk="xxxxxxxx" proto=WPA key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP } The 'manual instructions' say to make a wpa_supplicant.conf : excerpt-------------------------- nano wpa_supplicant.conf As an example, the following stanza can go to this file and will work for many wireless networks, provided you give the actual SSID and passphrase for the network you are connecting to: network={ ssid="my-ssid" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="the network's secret passphrase" } end excerpt--------------------------------------- note two keys not instructed, which I can only presume means they are not in the gui script's wpa_supplicant.conf file and are needed by the hot spot I am connecting to. If I could edit this before the gui script begins (installing the iso off my memory stick) this might do the trick. Does this help? Thanks
