Yeah I've since realized the error of my ways, now I am fighting the new WiFi tool, it just plain sucks with a Linksys WRT54G and WPA / TKIP PSK Mode it just won't connect, but works find in the PS3 OS mode.
I'm also trying to cross compile Handbrake tonight, as I think it might be compatible with a little TLC.
Damn it sure would be nice to have a working WiFi card. I paid $69 for the YDL.net account, but I don't see anyone with the same issues.
I also tried WPA2 with AES and TKIP and WPA1 Personal with AES, all act the same.
I can connect if the network is open, but I'm a little paranoid about doing that...
