I believe it *is* a fallback. I had reports from a Mac user that getting into the campus network (which *is* WPA) involved switching to WPA2. On investigation this turned out to be that the WPA driver in Vista was buggy, so everything was set up using the WPA2 drivers, and all users were configured for this, *including* Mac users (!) even though the connection didn't actually use any WPA2 features. On the same network, my Gutsy connects with N-M using plain WPA. I'm not any kind of expert in this, so I'm just reproducing what the networking gureaux have told me. YMMV. The N800 absolutely will *not* connect to the WPA network in the current circumstances (I have yet to try it with certificates). I wish there was some kind of step-by-step trace mode for connections that would show the exchange of information between AP and client. ///Peter
