Why would my router be so different?  Both of my desktop systems and 
my laptop fired right up and logged on with no problem........this 
new Linux system worked at the installfest....and it sees it here, 
and keeps trying to log on, but just can't get there...

What do I need to know to connect to ANY wireless system........my 
laptop can at a lot of different places, using different routers, etc.......

Are you willing to talk / walk me thru it via phone / Skype some 
time?  I can follow the troubleshooting guide, but am not familiar 
with what it tells me...<G>
