Hello NoOp,

I downloaded ndisgtk, and tried the .inf file for winxp, that came with 
the NetGear wireless adapter, the wg111v2 from there CD...But it does 
not seem to connect to the modem downstairs...

I did put the  network password in where it shows, password type WPA, 
the network name essid I used "gibson" now I am not sure if this is 
correct or not...???

But when I try to see what iwlist wlan0 scan tells me it shows the essid 
name as "2wire363"   Now where would that come from, any idea...???

I'll attach the output of ifconfig, route, and iwlist's scan for you to 
look at...

Thanks for the help, I am really in need of it...

Larry
