Please log in for more thread options No, I'm not mixed up, about that at least. You enabled the Intel 2200BG
adapter. That's separate and distinct from any 1394 thing and you don't
need 1394; you have the other.
It's possible that you have MAC address filtering set on your access point
and the old card is listed and the Intel 2200BG is not. It's also possible
that the configuration which the computer is trying to use is wrong. Delete
it from the list of preferred SSID values and try to connect to it, again.
It should prompt you to enter the right information.
