Wifi at my mom's house...

[Scott Vargovich]

I have a Dell D-600 laptop running Xubuntu and Wicd with internal wifi using ipw2100 chipset.  My mom and I have the exact same router as I have - Linksys WRT54G2.  The only difference is that I flashed the firmware and put dd-wrt on mine.  We are both using WPA2 Personal for encryption.  My laptop automatically connects to my wifi at home, but never connects with my mom's wifi - even when I disable the encryption and try to connect without a password.  When I have the encryption enabled, it gets to "verifying authentication" and then times out.  When I disable it, it hangs on "obtaining an IP address".  This is very puzzling to me.  HELP!!!  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
