Re: [Thinkpad] WiFi access point scanning utilities for IBM internal802.11 a/b/g card

My problem is not finding the network.
It's that I have the D-link 802.11b 2X wireless router, and it ONLY works
with D-Link wireless cards, PC or USB
Other brands don't see the DHCP server, and never get an IP address or
gateway.
A lot of manual tinkering will get it connected for a while then it just
craps out again.
I have no idea why this is, it just is.
