If you're using an Apple Airport, you must use BSS mode (mode 1); mode 3 is ad-hoc mode, which does not and cannot communicate with access points like the Airport. Unless you void the warranty, the Airport can only handle 40-bit encryption. Make sure your keys are short enough. Also, make sure that you've enabled encryption; setting the encryption key does not enable encryption (it just sets the key). And make sure that you've selected the correct key (of the four possible keys), if encryption is enabled. Is the network name correct? It's got to match the network name on the Airport (unless you set it to "ANY", I believe). Is the channel correct? See the wicontrol man page for more information. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
