Hi Andy,

Thanks for your response.

I don't see a wpa-supplicant.exe here. Where might I find it?

My passphrase is eight alphanumeric characters. This is what works on this
computer under Windows using TKIP. AES does not seem to work under
Windows. I tried using eight hexadecimal characters under OS/2, but it did
not help. It just sits there searching and searching.

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Sandy
