The SSID was definitely correct since I saw it appear with the network
in the network scan window, I believe the PSK was correct as well but
will have to investigate further next time I am in this location.
BTW, has there been any fixes for the failure of the wireless to get
initialized each time the machine iis booted? I often have to reboot
the machine to get the hardware wireless icon to light up. More likely
a BIOS problem than an OS/2 problem, of course.
