Re: [Madwifi-users] Connects to Cisco AP but not Netgear AP

[Michael N. <mna...@mn...>]

For some reason no one responds to my posts...  I don't mean to be rude 
or maybe its because I'm the only who faces this problem?  If I left out 
any information in order for anyone to consider helping please let me 
know.  But basically my setup is

Thinkpad T40p
Fedora Core 1 with 2.4 Kernel
Compiles OK, insmod OK, .conf files OK, if files OK
Mini PCI Atheros Based 802.11a/b
Netgear Wifi G Router NO WEP TOTALLY OPEN SYSTEM (Doesn't Connect)
Cisco G Wifi G Router Has MAC Address ACCESS LIST (DOES Connect)

Please any help would be appreciated.  I think this is the 3rd time I've 
  posted this problem.  Everyone else's posts seem to be aswered except 
mine.  If someone has to tell me that there is no answer then please 
tell me so I can unsubsribe to this list as I've been waiting for a 
reply on this list for quite some time.  Thanks.

Sincerely,
Michael
