<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Use "iwconfig" to check that your WiFi card is
accessing your AP.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> If it isn't assocated with your AP and you're
using PCMCIA, rather </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> than USB or built in check
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opt In mine there was </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> a "*,*,*,*)" case clause that needed to be
deleted before the </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>> "any,*,*,*)" clause would take
effect.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, I've edited /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts so the
first statement now reads as above, still no joy though.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I pick up the AP fine, it just won't get an IP, even
though Kismet is able to give me the IP Address Range.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please note that I am using hostAP on the _Client_

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is the input mode. If it comes back as one of

might explane why your seeing just a B&W image. Try setting it to
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>one of the S-Video input settings to mach the signal

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought it was my region settings at first, but I
screwed around with those to no end, and gave up eventually and started using XP
as my main OS instead of Ubuntu. From googling the problem again, there seems to
be a lot more information on the problem, this page seems to be the most useful,
where it suggests using a higher hue and colour value.</FONT></P>
