Solved! (Sort of...) it seems that the drivers supplied with Ubuntu 8.10 are very susceptible to distance, and don't like being too far away from the WAP! I moved he laptop about 6 feet, and got 100% signal, and am downloading updates at the top rate of our broadband as we speak! Thanks to all who replied. (I might see about getting another WAP to use as a bridge....) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
