Unless you have the wi-fi chip that became a problem after a Kernel
upgrade ....  sorry, don't exactly know which one.  May be some info on
the forums.  I am going to look through any old kernels I've saved, and
try to find where the problem starts if I can.  

I've got to find out before next month as I have the problem!  It is
that you can log on to some wi-fi transmitters, and not to others ...
It's really enigmatic and bothersome.  Now I know the make and model of
one hub which WON'T work, I might just go out and spend my £25 to buy
one and investigate ....  Discovered the nature of the problem at
OpenSource Expo ....

Regards,		Barry.
