stumped with wireless: everything seems fine?

[smithie]

Hi,

i'm having some trouble getting the wireless set up on debian 4.0.

here is some output:


ARRRGH - why is out put showing as images???

[EDIT]: please see below for output on seperate posts - this editor is complaining about images!

i'm sure this will be a trivial matter for those with a lot more experience than myself - i however have no idea as to what might be wrong.

any suggestions?

Look for the outputs

Your card listening on chanel 6 but you AP provide services on chanle 3
use iwconfig for change settings or anything what you prefer.

And post the output of "iwlist wlan0 freq".
