I'm just going to post. This is the strangest thing. If I turn on roaming mode, I can connect to the wireless network. This means i need to have my router broadcast my ESSID. I usually just turn off broadcasting so no one knows its even there. So i turn on roaming mode, and it pops up asking me for the WEP key, and I can log in now. Don't know if i reboot, but we'll see. So wierd that it won't work under manual configuration.

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. Is the router configured to accept any ethernet number for connections ? Max connections OK ? What kind of router do you have ?
