Oh, well not nearly as interesting then. I thought you meant that
Mandriva on the problematic system was working perfectly.
Out of curiosity, how do you interact with wpa_supplicant?
I don't. It was configured once, and it doesn't need anything more.
As for the KDE working or not, I was mostly making guesses before we
had
more evidence to the fact that the kernel/firmware may be the issue, not
the config software.
Ah - a thought. I have Mandriva on a usb pen-drive. I'll try it and see if
there is any success, I don't know whether the kernel will be recent enough
though, as that is Mandriva 2008.1.
I'll let you know if I get anything useful.
