Roy,
This is what I've dug up so far.....
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b
ESSID:"g\xC6isQ\xFFJ\xEC)\xCD\xBA\xAB\xF2\xFB\xE3F|\xC2T\xF8\x1B\xE8\xE7\x8DvZ.c3\x9F\xC9\x9A"
Mode:Managed Access Point: None Bit Rate:2 Mb/s
Sensitivity=1/3
Retry short limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-73 dBm Noise level=-73 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:55 Missed beacon:0
There is some stuff that does not look right to me...especially the noise
lievel and Rx invalid nwid:0
What do you do you see?
Jim
