I'm glad that we have some experienced Toshiba users here. What Earl should do
now is verify that he has the same adapter in his unit. It is not uncommon for
manufacturers to change WIFI modules during production due to supply or price
issues.

the Linux community prides itself on its technical tennacity. It would
be out of character for a Linux distro to work the same way all the time.
That's why we have these user groups. It isn't a commercial product. No staff
programmers here; so, these little variences are the norm. A small price to
pay for the amount of power that we get out of these Linux based OS's. Good
Luck and keep trying you'll get hooked up soon!
