Neil, Ok, finally worked out all the probs with wpa_supplicant (I think). I built it and it runs however it doesn't seem to work. I've done everything above and when I run the wpa_supplicant I get the following. [root@localhost wpa_supplicant-0.3.9]# wpa_supplicant -Dndiswrapper -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -d Initializing interface 'wlan0' conf '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' driver 'ndiswrapper' Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' Reading configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' ctrl_interface='/var/run/wpa_supplicant' ap_scan=1 fast_reauth=1 Priority group 5 id=0 ssid='nottelling' Initializing interface (2) 'wlan0' Own MAC address: 00:90:4b:b2:14:b1 Setting scan request: 0 sec 100000 usec Daemonize..
