What is in your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf? It sounds like some quoting in the file might be broken. (Remember to edit the password, or chose another one once things are working.) > What am I doing wrong? Probably something very minor. I've been running ath0 with wpa_supplicant and WPA2 since FC5 days. If you edit the rc files to start wpa_supplicant before the networking you can even bring up ath0 automatically at boot time. (Which is how I have things set up.) The one caveat with wpa_supplicant is it doesn't behave well if more than one network choice is listed in wpa_supplicant.conf. This is even if you give your preferred network a huge priority boost. I found the only way to keep wpa_supplicant from periodically hunting (and freezing the net) is to have several wpa_supplicant.conf files with one choice each and to swap them if I ever want to latch onto a different network. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
