I did paste it.  That space belongs there,  The -w is followed
by the target directory.  Then a space and the filename.

I don't know; I did what I was told.

Yes, that was my last error.  I switched to the version you are
using and it now works, unencrypted, but with MAC authentication.

I have yet to try WPA encryption.  Have you tried it?  Tomorrow
I leave for a long weekend, so I won't try it until next week.
However with the wifi working, I should be able to look at the
newsgroup.

Thanks again for your help.
Mike.
