Can you please run 'iwlist wlan0 scan' and 'iwconfig wlan0' and show us the results? The former should include your access point and the latter should show that your wireless card has associated with it. Meanwhile, your /etc/conf.d/net does not show a passphrase and it seems to be confusing wireless tools and wpa. What encryption are you using?/Are you using encryption? --=20 Regards, Mick
