Hmm nope have not seen this happening.... I have used LL when on trips before and have had no issue so, it could be a password error or even a security error. It all depends on what they are using to secure their network. i.e. WEP WAP Passphrase...etc. When you get the password from say a hotel desk, ask them what security they are using and ask them to show you the password. This way you can write it down and if it still does not work then it could be something else. Try and take a live cd/usb stick with you on your next trip, see if you can connect using 1.08 then if no connect try the live cd/usb stick. You should be able to connect easily. If it won't connect then come back and post the results here. The more information the better. Would definitely need to know your computer and wifi setup. We can help you better knowing that information.

Good luck

This happens to me at all hotels and now at a place I am staying at that has wireless. I have been using LL1.08 for about 8 months and at home my wireless authentication password was initially recognized and then always automatically connected, but nowhere else can I get a connection. it'll see the networks, but the passwords are never recognized and I have to always switch back to W7 to connect.
Anyone else see this issue?

Thanks....am planning on loading LL2.0 as soon as we move into our new home and I have time.
Steve
