Then suddenly it was not associating anymore. I've ran wpa_supplicant on the command line and it kept spitting out "SSID Mismatch" I only got things to work after I added the SSID into the list in wpa_supplicant.conf Previously preferred_aps will work. Does anyone have any clue? BTW, when I do iwconfig, I get the message that the wireless tools has been compiled with version 20 when the kernel version is version 22. I've already re-compiled wireless-tools-28 (or should I upgrade it to 29_pre22??) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
