Wireless Settings, does not work using Elpanel Icon, manual iwconfig commands work fine. Using iwconfig wlan0 essid myssid does set and associate with my base router; iwlist wlan0 scan does list the many networks around me; dhclient wlan0 does get an IP from the server.

None of which happens from the icon based script(?) but just sits there running continuously (for 4-5 minutes atleast.) After doing a manual setup, the Status for wlan0: window does list the correct state.

wlan0 is an Airlink pci .11G card, works with many other distros’ wizards, e.g. Mepis, Puppy, Sudix, some of the BSD’s that I have tried.

(As I have just a few machines on line that don’t change, I use Mac Filtering and neither WEP nor either WPA.)

The machine running Elive is a relatively new GeForce6100SM-M MoBo with an Athlon 64×2 and 1GB of ram.
