I now get resulis from: ip link and the beginniongs of a connection. But I get: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument. Yes, twice. Googing around I see that this is an old problem. I tried fiddling with the password. Sometimes the password is echoed in the error report, and sometimes not. I even tried a hex password. Nothing worked. More suggestions, or perhaps a better driver, would be much appreciated.
