Well, I'm obviously more confused than you. I sldo have a Linksys wrt54g 
V6 (sort of old), if that makes any difference. I'm running F9 with all 
the latest updates on an Acer with Intel IPW2200 (again, not the latest 
stuff) wireless. I was previously running Fedora 6 and it was working fine.

Thanks for letting me know that AES should work. Maybe I'll experiment 
with it some more.
