Then did a complete update. A quick test of the wireless still doesn't work. I've started a download of the alternate installer 64 bit, and plan on giving that a try later.

Young, What that all shows is that your wireless *is* working otherwise you wouldn't be able to scan all of those networks around you. Is 'ESSID:"SqwatTall"' your wireless network? </pre> </blockquote> Yes, and I think you're correct. <blockquote cite="mid:h7mplm$vvf$1@ger.gmane.org" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> You need to go to Network Manager & set up wlan0. Sorry, I use wicd, so someone else will have to help you configure in NM. </pre> </blockquote> Time for some more googling. Thanks, Mark </body> </html>
