Re: Fwd: Re: Going wireless
David,
I've been trying all the different possibilities I can think of.
No change. :-(
iwlist wlan0 scan still shows "No scan results".
I am sad about it. I am running out of ideas. :-(
I have read the howtos 100 times, have done thousands of tests to no
avail. :-(
I guess it is time for me to give thanks to all of you who have helped
me, specially you David. I guess I've got to wait until I become more
knowledgeable on linux and get a better understanding about this whole
thing.
