Tried your suggestion above, but it didn't help. |

Make sure that you have not built/modprobed the ath5k kernel module which |

No harm in asking the obvious, even if I don't know enough for this to be |
| 40 |
obvious to me. I assume that I would have to tell my wireless router not to |
| 41 |
encrypt, and that I would have to make some adjustment in /etc/conf.d/net |
| 42 |
or /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to turn encryption off. Any |
| 43 |
advice on how to do this? |
