Message-ID: Not that this will really be news to most people on the list, but it seems worth passing on as just a bit more emphasis for the GenMac and WLAN developers. This is just one more illustration of why eCS is in such dire need of support for the newest adapters that are being shipped on today's laptops. Either eCS provides support, or users will find that they can no longer attach to any wireless site that cares about a secure network. Pointing to old drivers and old adapters is not an acceptable alternative.
