I understand that FreeGeek is using NoCatAuth (as we do), but I >have no idea about Rich's random coffee shop. Yet when Rich was at the last Clinic my laptop (Fedora 16) was connected to the Free Geek wireless without a problem, and nevertheless we failed to figure out how to get his to connect. And when I say mine was connected without a problem, trust me when I say that I know zero about how this stuff works. If I can get my laptop connected just by cluelessly poking at GUI stuff, then there is something indeed strange going on. I have been following this thread, albeit without understanding most of it. I do note that several command line diagnostics have been suggested. Were Rich and I at the Clinic again we could run those commands on my computer and his and see where they produced different results. This might at least give us a clue where the problem lies. I also want to thank Rich for sharing his pain with PLUG. Per aspera ad astra (through difficulties to the stars). Tough problems are learning experiences for everyone. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
