RE: Wireless network not found
Hi Camaleon,
Thanks for your advice,
>>if your wifi card(s) can only work at "g" speed > your AP has to be set to support only "g" (or "g" alongside "n" → b/g/n).>
So it turned out that the router had a specific frequency set instead of auto or all frequencies. I changed that to auto and then i could find the SSID from my laptop .. progress!!!
I couldn't authenticate so after i changed the p/w of the SSID i still could not get on. The AP was set on b/g/n where once i set it to g/n only i could authenticate and get an IP
I kept an eye on /var/log/daemon.log to see what output the kernel had to say. Was very informative.
Thanks for your help and point in the right direction!
