I tried to update to 1.0.1 but still keep getting the
same warning
Warning: Device eth1 has been comiled with version
17 of wireless extension, while we are using version
16. Some things may be broken...
When i do the config.
I followed the direction provided in one suggestion
and tried setting it up as infra / adhoc. Both face
the same problem, I can see the network, signal
strength is excellent, but cannot see computers on
inter/intranet.
Any ideas will greatly help. I can give some
diagnostics if you tell what to run and provide.
regards,
