I could confirm that wrt54gl supports wpa2 with aes encryption. Knowing that, you have to calmly find the way around. First, let the channel be 6 or 11. Then, go to just "g" mode emission. Let your mac address pass the firewall on the device. Set the appropriate password, at least 65 long. Set ssid to hidden. Then... Let wizard on n800 help you. Include hidden ssid as very important. On 770 I made the connection from the very first attempt. Atheros chip is known as good for open source drivers. I have 5212 on freebsd box and it works just flowlessly. Linux drivers are similar, with no time outs or alike funs. Zoran
