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
