I have a Cisco mini MPI 350 built-in wireless on an IBM laptop w/ FC3. I cannot get my laptop to connect to my AP correctly. (Unless I boot into XP, everything is fine.)
I've tried the following:
ACU location:
/opt/cisco/bin
./acu
Shows I'm associated to my AP, however system setting> network configuration show the device as Inactive.

Nothing seems to work? Any details/ideas as to what I can try? :confused:
