Hi Jordi, |
30 |
|
31 |
I have confirmed that my laptop works with WiFi when WEP is disabled. |
32 |
However, setting the transmit rate to 11mb/s didn't do anything. |
33 |
It does appear though, that with WEP, the laptop hangs at the DHCP |
34 |
stage, where it finally times out. I assume thats the first time the |
35 |
WiFi system attempts to send or receive data. |
36 |
|
37 |
I will try to get closer to the access point to see if it is just a |
38 |
problem of signal levels. However, in Windoze, I have plenty of signal. |
39 |
|
40 |
If all else fails I may try alternate means to get it running. |
41 |

Thanks! Rob |
