Hi
All the config seems correct but pings (and everything else) fails. I know that everything should be working because sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. When it's working, it works well and doesn't stop working (until unplug card, or suspend etc.). When it's not working, I can't get it to start!
I've googled and searched this (and other forums) but haven't found anything that's helped. (it's not a firewall problem, I've rebooted the AP etc., the PSK is fine (because it connects sometimes)) Any new ideas?
Thank you!
