Hello,

I have searched through the forums and I still can't get my wireless setup correctly. I am using Xandros 4.2 Pro. I can see all the wireless networks in my area and connect to the unsecured ones, however, I can't seem tot connect to my secured wireless.

Here is my wireless security setup:
WPA - Preshared key
WPA Algorithms - TKIP

I also do not broadcast my SSID and I filter MAC addresses. I have entered the correct MAC address, so I don't think that is the problem. I am also using the NDIS wrapper for my Broadcom 1390.

Like I said, I can see and connect to unsecured networks, but not my secured wireless network. Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the help,

Wiggumon

The version of NDISWrapper that currently ships with Xandros does not support WPA encryption with certain Dell 1390 Broadcom-based cards... I have tried to make a newer build of it in times past, but it requires a newer version of gcc than the Xandros Kernel was compiled with.

Unless Xandros supplies a newer version of NDISWrapper (which at this point I doubt). You will need a different card to do WPA.

Thank you for the information, redrum. I'll try to go about this a different way.
