You had previously configured the interface how ? Or did this come up automatically with essid "ANY" and in uncertain mode ? What does sudo iwconfig wlan0 give you ? > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo dhclient wlan0 Might run with the -d flag to keep in foreground for debugging.

Can anyone give me some ideas? sudo ifdown [eth0 or whatever wired interface] sudo killall dhclient sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid XXXXXXXXXHomeNetwork mode managed enc off sudo dhclient -d wlan0 See what happens.
