Thanks for all of you help, I would have not been able to get this far without it. -------------------- I did have one last question maybe you could help me with: 1. Because I am using ndiswrapper does this mean that I have to do this through the command line each time I want to authenticate to a network. Note: I ask this because when I look at the network cards through the gui this card doesn't show up, just my internal network card that was discovered natively. 2. If I do use authenticate to another essid with another encryption key, will the one that I entered for my network be wiped out? or will it be retained?
