Sorry, you'll have to wait for a 'K' guy to help any further - I'm a 'G'
guy :-)

Speaking of 'K', I've been fiddling with trying to get a WUSB11 ver 2.8
USB wireless adaptor working with WPA on KDE 4.1 most of the day. Works
just fine via WinXPPro, but can't seem to get the wpa bit working in
KDE4.1. (-21 kernel). Maybe I need to look up the wpa_supplicant info.
Anyway, I'll put that in a new thread so that I don't hijack your's.
