Hi Alejandro, sorry I only just noticed your reply.

It's a little hard to get data off my phone at the moment. But indicator network is running:

2479 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/indicator-network/indicator-network-secret-agent
2539 ? Ssl 0:07 /usr/lib/arm-linux-dnueabihf/indicator-network/indicator-network-service

I've been trying to use wpa_supplicant as you suggested but it continually fails to connect, complaining about authentication timeouts. I'm not sure if I'e got the right device driver. I'm running:

sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -cwpa.conf

It does understand the network's MAC and frequency, so I guess it's talking to the driver OK. This is with two different access points.

Also, wpa_supplicant is already running. I can kill it but it just comes back.
