Suggestion for wireless PC-card 802.11b / 802.11g with out-of-the-box support in Hoary

[Luke Szczepaniak]

Hi Christian, I agree that WPA is painful, took me a while to get it going. 
I found that I could not associate with my access point using WPA unless i 
turned SSID Broadcast on (nic is a d-link dwl-650 also using the madwifi 
driver). Using WEP without the SSID broadcast on worked no problem.
