Hey everyone,

Have you had any luck with 8.10 connecting to UVM?  I've spent a while 
today working through the instructions in those threads and nothing has 
been working for me.

This solution, though, I doubt I've been doing correctly...

in gconf-editor :  system>networking>connections>1>802-11-wireless-security.

    Current :
Code:

group       [wep40,wep104,tkip,ccmp]
key-mgmt    wpa-psk
name        802-11-wireless-security
pairwise    [tkip,ccmp]
proto       [wpa,rsn]

    Edit to look like : (what forum says to do)
Code:

group       [tkip]
key-mgmt    wpa-psk
name        802-11-wireless-security
pairwise    [tkip]
proto       [wpa]


I'm assuming tkip and psk are not the parameters that our wireless 
network will take...any insight on what I should be setting there or any 
updates on anything you have gotten to work?

Thanks!
Chris McKena
