I had to make sure I removed all the madwifi/ath0 stuff, at least the devices. Gary, I would appreciate to know if you get this working. I have mine working except for WEP. Can't seem to make it work. Without WEP my wireless works great. Can't make a connection when I try WEP. I thought you were not supposed to use the dashes in the key. Maybe that's been my problem.... Thanks, James
