Larry,
I got the same error even after adding wlan0 in
/etc/network/interfaces file. I set the essid using "sudo iwconfig
wlan0 essid linksys" command and restarted network. I tried other
essids, but it gives same error.
Attached files contain log files. Please advise about solution.
How do I disable usb monitoring log, so I can see wlan0 interface log
from dmesg?
Thanks
Sam
