eth0 is hot because i need a connection to post this.
if i leave it unpluged it simply dosent show.
if i assign an ip it just shows the ip and still is not connected.
if i dhcpcd it times out.
i can also
iwlist ath0 scan and pick up the 4 ap's that are around me. but still cant connect.
have checked ap and nothing id blocking it. it has full access, as much as i hate to speak the "w" work. its works as it should in winDOHs.
i know it has to be something simple but i appear to be snake bit.
any suggestions?
