Hi

I have a Notebook with a built-in ipw2200 wll card.
I tried wlassistant and had one little problem....

Evertime i tried to connect, there was a error in the
console.
wconfig_set: /sbin/iwconfig eth1 essid Home mode
managed channel 13 key restricted <key>
==>stderr: Error for wireless request "Set Frequency"
(8B04) :
SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument.

So i tried this manually and without the channel option
and it worked fine.
So i changed the sourcecode in src/netparams.h on line 186

mCmd << iwconfig << np.iface << "essid" << np.essid <<
"mode" << "managed" << "channel" << np.channel << "key";

to

mCmd << iwconfig << np.iface << "essid" << np.essid <<
"mode" << "managed" << "key";

Now it works fine except that it has some problems
detecting the default route, but it is there and
everything works.

I think it would be nice to include this in the options
menu. I already tried it, but my programming skills are
still to bad to do this in short time :-(

Thanks, for this cool program...

Regards, Andreas
