Hi Hin-Tak, Thanks for your quick reply. I needs to recheck about "open or WEP network", but from properties it says "Security->WPA personal". One thing I observed while trying to configure from command line. if I do "ifconfig wlan0 up", it doesn't show "RUNNING". I can scan the channels using iwlist properly but, assigning access point using "iwconfig wlan0 ap access_pt", doesn't work for me and shows "ap not assigned" Thanks and Regards, Shivdas On 2/4/09, Hin-Tak Leung <hintak.leung@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 6:10 PM, Shivdas Gujare <shivdas.tech@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> Hi, >> I am trying to use Belkin Wireless G USB adapter(uses trl8187 driver) >> on ARM board.
