Sarge installs a 2.4 kernel unless you select linux26 as the install command, 
then it installs 2.6.8, I think.  (Yes, 2.6.8 was nastily broken. <g>  Not 
sure if they ever changed that in later point releases.)  Etch (soon to be 
stable) is 2.6.x only.  (I don't know which kernel off hand.)

I've had that problem as well with Linksys APs.  I replaced one with a D-Link 
(I think it was) and it started working, WEP and everything.

of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
