John Jolet said: "well, you DON'T use wpa_supplicant." and I've been working with wireless-tools ever since. I'm using: ifconfig ath0 up iwconfig ath0 essid Myessid iwconfig ath0 key s:Mykey pump -i ath0 I tried dhcpcd and it didn't work either. Knoppix was using pump sucessfully so I tried that with Gentoo as above. Honestly, how could this not be a package versions issue? The above commands work on the Knoppix 4 DVD but not on up-to-date Gentoo. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
