OK, voodoo time... I suspect that "iwconfig wlan0" at this point will show a "0/100" link quality and may show "Not associated" for Access Point. True? If so, please try these two steps: iwconfig wlan0 essid "BSNL" iwconfig wlan0 If link quality still shows 0/100, repeat a time or two (or three). I find that I usually get an association on the second try, and a non-zero signal level on the third. Does this happen for you? I don't have a good fault theory here yet. I suspect it has something to do with the MLME functionality in mac80211 (duh), and possibly the interaction between that and the hardware-based scanning that the iwl3945 uses. Anyway, once you get a non-zero link quality then proceed to the "dhclient wlan0" step. Does that "work" now? (I know it isn't pretty...) John -- John W.
