Debian seems to be trying to do the correct thing (it knows you are connecting to an ESSID and not a simple single SSID) but for reasons unknown, is not happy. Is it worth checking that you have enabled non-free and contrib in your repos, and installed ALL of the relevant firmware files? Obviously only once you have installed, of course, probably via a cable if the wifi just proves too much of a pain in the arse. Cheers
As a final note on this episode, I was using the laptop today and it has finally died on me. It was given to me some years ago and it was quite old then. So I guess I am now in the market for a replacement, without any OS installed.
Oh well, thanks for everyone who replied. Still have the desktop of course. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
