So, I finally got my NC10 but now I’m having trouble connecting to my wireless network. I’ve read several of the problem threads here and I’ve tried installing the driver in the other thread, but no help. Basically it finds the network fine and the signal strength is excellent. When I try to connect, it gets to aquiring network address and then I get the windows popup saying waiting for netowrk to be ready. Then suddenly it goes to disconnected state but the connection windows stays waiting for network to be ready until I click cancel or wait a while for it to disappear. Sometimes I get the windows connection window showing for like 1 second before it disappears and it goes into not connected state again. My router is a Buffalo WHR-G125 using WPA and I’ve never had trouble connecting with any computer before. 🙁
I finally figured out what the problem was or at least was able to fix it. I read somewhere that the wifi card doesn’t work too good at all with WPA2, but then I found out I wasn’t using it but WPA instead. After trying just about everything I figured it can’t hurt to try to change it, so I put it to WPA2 and it instantly started working perfectly, haven’t had any problems since so far.

I was also having great trouble connecting Sammy to my network. I am using a Belkin router with WEP encryption. On reading the above, I switched the router and networked laptop to WPA2. Once that was up & running, I tried connecting Sammy using using the Windows utility. It picked it up straight away and connected easily. Job done! Thanks Tii. Does the Samsung Atheros card only accept WPA2? Anyone know?

I have a Linksys WRT54GL running the DD-WRT firmware using WPA for encryption, and it works just fine. No connectivity problems whatsoever.
