I used to have no security until 10 minutes ago, when I enabled either WPA or WPA2 (not sure which), with 128 bit passphrase. My lappy with intel 3945abg wireless connects fine, as does my brother's desktop with an rt61. Both of the above run gutsy. I haven't tested my desktop with bcm4306 yet. Since there's noone in the house who has any sort of idea about windows wireless at all, my parents' XP MCE 2005 with bcm4311 isn't connecting. If you use the windows utility, it says the passphrase isn't the right length (it says it'll only accept 5 or 13 characters and mine's 12) and if you use the belkin utility, it cant decide whether ive got security enabled or not. -- Alec Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
