Changing to Auto, Adhoc or Managed often seems to do the trick, though I have never understood why. I find wifi-radar quite useful sometimes. I think it uses the same approach as NetworkManager, which means that it does not work with all WiFi cards. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
