Go through the wizard add your ssid by yourself. Then once it has that in there go to the other settings. You have to apply it a few times. ONce it is working it will stay working. As I said the setup is a bit fussy.
lol... Yep, that seemed to have done the trick.
Dang... a 4 year degree and 10+ years work experience down the drain.
btw: DON'T use the "current" utility off the web-site. It's a lesser version 1.43(?) than what came in the box with mine (1.52) -- and is way worse.
EDIT: I take that back... the "connect" button DOES appear to work (mostly) -- but it doesn't renew the IP/mask/gateway of the adapter.
gimper48, can you confirm that yours does? If your gateway address happens to be the same as the "foreign" access-point, it would be difficult to determine. Can you connect to your own, contact the 'net, "connect" to an other AP, and contact the 'net again without doing anything else?
For me, I still have to do a release/renew after I've chosen (and supposedly "connected") the AP... OR... go through the wizard each time. I've put this card on my "experimental" box, so I can't say for sure that something else I have isn't interfering with it.
EDIT 2: The wizard works fine for me when setting up "my" LAN, but I'd like to switch freely and easily between my own lan and others in the neighborhood.
