Subj : Error and Trial

Hello Jeff,

I returned from vacation to find that my wireless card would not
connect properly to the AP.  All of the settings in both the AP
and wireless utility were correct, and remembering that I had
dropped the card, I assumed it was damaged.

I found and ordered a replacement, which upon arrival exhibited
the same behavior as the supposedly damaged one.  Since the other
system on the wireless segment was working properly, I decided it
must be a setting.  It was and it wasn't.

As it turned out, while the settings were correct, a reboot of the
AP was not enough.  I had to remove encryption and access control,
and then a connection was established.  RE-entering the removed
settings on the AP and wireless utility then returned the original
setup.  I'm not sure why that was necessary, but anway I'm back up
and running, with TWO wireless cards. :-)

Regards,

Robert Fowler
