I have the Auditor Live CD and have had difficulty connecting to my router with it. I disabled SSID broadcast and enabled both WPA and MAC filtering. The wireless hardware in the laptop is Intel PRO 2200BG (I burned the "no-ipw" version of Auditor). When I ran the network setup facility in Auditor, it mentioned WEP but not WPA.

I could "see" my own router with Kismet. The first network listed by Kismet was "!<no ssid>", it was the correct channel (8) and the packets that it counted started and stopped as I connected and disconnected the router several times. There were two other networks which were listed by their broadcast SSID.

How can I get my laptop to connect to the router via the wireless connection? It will connect normally via an ethernet cable.

I have no experience of Linux so I'd be grateful if any responses could bear that in mind! I've read about wpa_supplicant but don't know if that's relevant.

Thanks for your patience.
