I have an interesting behaviour to note here.
I have found that I can connect to my office wireless WPA-PSK Access Point ONLY IF I put the laptop (IBM X31) close to a particular corner near the window during boot and net access. This corner is the FAREST in the office from the AP. Once connected, I caome back in my room and I stay connected all the day.
This means that maybe the signal strenght is too high for the ipw2100 to connect WPA-PSK, and it needs to be reduced.
Maybe useful to developers?
