Thanks, Julian! Somewhat confirms my knee-jerk reaction that it is a hardware problem... After I sent the posting, I have had two other bits of strange behavior: 1) While normally, as I indicated, flipping the switch for the radio OFF/ON would bring back the steady light, a couple of times last night, it kept blinking even with the switch in the OFF position. 2) Then, this morning, even with the light steady ON, the system lost contact with the router/AP. Required a re-boot to get it back. [The router was OK.] I'm not sure the latter problem is part of the same problem, though, because I've lost the connection a couple of times since I changed the AP security from WEP64 to WEP128. Until this morning, recycling the power on the router/AP would re-establish the connection without a reboot. This morning, it did not. If the connection keeps dropping, I'll go back to WEP64 to see if the dropped connection continues to happen. Thanks, again... Carl
