However, just to be clear I am currently running with the 40Mhz bandwidth(HT40?) at 2.5Ghz. As far as I can see my router does not do 5Ghz. >>>> 2) I cannot start WPA_GUI or WPA_CLI > Does running wpa_supplicant manually connect to the network ? > Had another go at this and started wpa_cli and got back Selected interface 'wlan0.pid' Could not connect to wpa_supplicant - re-trying and it sits there and does nothing. Are you supposed to be able to run the wpa_gui/cli if you have the supplicant running in background? Now that I have the system working, this is not a high priority but it would be 'nice to have'. 3) A while back I reported that I was having problems getting certain things to run in my SUSE 11 system. It turns out the problem was that the .config file supplied with wireless testing has a lot of modules turned off. I did a merge of my old config with the wireless-testing one and now I have a full working system, but with the wireless kernel. and this is the best result so far Mode Rate (Mbps) Signal (%) 802.11n (2.4GHz) 216 94 Again many thanks to all for a great result, Brian
