I have a dual boot laptop with a Broadcom 43 and WinXP and F8. In F8, I connect with a gui entitled "Network Device Control". I am working in an area with a marginal wifi signal. It appears that in cases where F8 will not connect, WinXP connects immediately. Can anything be done about this? Additionally, in F8, if I type specify SSID for the strongest signal, it won't connect at all. In this case, the SSID consists of several words. In another case, where the SSID was one word, and the signal was stronger, I could specify it successfully. Is this expected? In the present case, therefore, I do not know to which of several nodes I am connected. Is there a way to find out? Thanks for your help. Mike.
