Hi,

No - I'm using WPA.

My router (a 3com) allows two ways of entering the key - a passphrase
or a hex key. Both work with the PDA. The passphrase works with
Windows and the laptop (never tried hex key before).

However, even unecrypted doesn't work with Mandriva. I'm surprised
no-one's come up with a solution.

Out of interest, does anyone have a Thinkpad with Mandriva 2007
working with a wifi card and WPA?
