Ok, one step closer now...

seems to be an iwconfig issue now:

[root@localhost log]# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 18
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 17.
Some things may be broken...

wlan0     IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00

          RTS thr:2347 B   Fragment thr:2346 B

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0

what does that warning mean?

thanks,

Jeff
