Thank you for your reply.<br><br>Yes, I was discussing with the Internet provider about this point (you know, they have a script and when they hear the word "Linux" they hide under the table). They told me that it is right, but that WPA keys can be shorter than 64 characters as well...
<br><br>The router is in WPA mode, because I configured it so. Only WPA, <span style="font-weight: bold;">not</span> "WEP or WPA". Look that:<br><br># iwlist ath0 scan<br>ath0 Scan completed :<br> Cell 01 - Address: **:**:**:**:**:**

<br><br><br>Maybe a hint can come from the fact that, in Windows XP, introducing the 26 character key works OK.<br><br>Can you help me further, if possible?<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>David<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
