Or you could just use Wifi-Radar.

When you hover over it, or click on it, it will ask you to enter the key again. Be sure to specify hex." For me, I just ran "iwconfig" until the ESSID changed from "" to "UNC-1". Note: the hex key is input without the leading zeros; i.e., not "010203" but just "123...". Also, the installed browser works, you don't have to install Opera.

David [Note from alan: I haven't tried it, but I suspect the following might work: go back into the terminal $ su - # killall dhclient # /etc/init.d/network start # /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start ] Regards, Tim Cline Douglas A.
