Well it's true that if you can't get the wireless device to work with an unencrypted AP it doesn't stand much chance with an encrypted one. But an AP that has WEP or WPA enabled won't let you 'associate' at all unless you have the right encryption stuff sorted out, so it is not quite that you can somehow associate to an encrypted AP with your existing recipe and then sort out the encryption. FWIW I had good luck with wpa_supplicant whenever I used it, it's not to hard to set up either on the APs I tried it with. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
