Subject: Re: [OS2Wireless]Re: WPA-2

I initially had problems connecting using WPA-2 and was using a 10
character key.  Using a longer 43 character key, I was able to connect,
but I cannot communicate over the network.  I can self-ping, but there
is no response from pings to other boxes.  Running 'netstat -r' shows
that the IP address and routing is correct.

BTW, WPA does connect properly, but breaks lock often& retrains.  Also
ping response times are extremely long, 100s of milliseconds.

Cheers,

Chris Clayton
