Steve and Alexander,
I have no problem at all testing a liveCD on THAT production machine with the Prism54 chipset card. I shall d/L and report later. I should give advance notice that on my last liveCD test 7.10 final on that machine I did not have the problem with connecting to my hidden AP. It only became apparent AFTER I installed it to the HD. That really baffled me as it took several installs to get it to know that I had WPA, and NOT WEP. I know, sounds dumb, but the LiveCD 7.10 final worked flawlessly(even hidden SSID) until I installed, then nothing but WEP was detectable except if I held my breath, turned my head sideways, cough twice while standing on my right leg only, not left leg, then it would install correctly and detect WPA. I have read other reports of this issue so I concluded I did nothing wrong.
I will also test on the other wireless chipset I have for hidden SSID. will report back later. getting your new daily image image now........
IF someone can recommend to me a replacement PCMCIA card that is guaranteed to work I would be willing to get past this problem and buy that since its so rare....however I did not know that was the case. but it seems like a lot of work to support just one person.
