Per "dmesg" its Rev. D, I dont know if you think I should try another driver? - I could. I do lock down the AP by mac and I _have_ added the mac to the AP. What do you think about disabling wep encryption and using just per-mac access temporarily? What would the ifconfig command to try it that way be? Just to see if it is in fact the wep key. Cheers!
