True it is. I have a simple 128-bit WEP setup presently - I use to have a system that couldn't handle WPA so I didn't set it up for WPA; I think I could now, but I don't have the time quite at the moment. Any how...wpa_supplicant didn't like the key (see below); thus my original e-mail. |

I did try wicd, which seemed to be working for the most part, but still having a little trouble...I restarted the router and it still didn't want to connect...so still working on it. wicd is nice though. |

wpa_supplicant is _very_ configurable, so I would guess that it can handle your AP configuration, but you just haven't configured it enough! Not that this is slack on your part - it took me a while to figure out all the options I needed for some of my AP's too... |
