Stefan,

I just installed a Netgear MA311 today.  I didn't see any tab for 
"Wireless Settings" such as you described above.  I had to use 
iwconfig.  

Would you please repeat how to find the gui frontend to iwconfig?

Thanks.

Also, has anyone had any problems retaining the wireless info.  I'm 
running encrypted and I have to enter the key each time I boot up.  The 
device appears ready, but the wireless NIC will not communicate until I 
re-enter the encryption key via iwconfig, then commit the data.

Anyone else seen this?
