When I try to do ifup wlan0 I get
[root@nitefall ~]# ifup wlan0
Error for wireless request 'Set Encode' (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Determining IP information for wlan0...
<hangs there for a while>
I get the above error with or without encryption enabled at the AP.
Any ideas? I've been over hundreds of posts on dozens of pages and nothing has worked.
I have a dual-boot and the card works perfectly in Windows, so it's not a hardware issue.
Thanks,
