I tried that in rc.local, and it didn't seem to help., Maybe my assumption that rc.local runs well before X starts is incorrect. I've had a bit better luck with: # force set ESSID so hidden WLAN is found iwconfig wlan0 essid $SSID until iwlist wlan0 scan | fgrep -q ESSID:\"$SSID\" ; do sleep 2; done echo "Wireless connection established to $SSID WLAN" I don't know what impact "iwconfig wlan0 essid" has when you are in a foreign location seeking to connect to any available WLAN, but I know my solution won't handle that well, so I'd like to find a better solution. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
