Tim:
If you want new suggestions, you need to have provided a list of
what you've already done. We don't know what you don't know.

Robert P. J. Day:
no, that is precisely the *wrong* approach. (and, at this point,
i'm actually addressing more general documentation shortfalls than
just wireless.)

there is little value in listing the 6 variations i've tried, just
so someone can say, "here, here's a 7th possibility, maybe *that'll*
work."

p.s. i might write up what i think i've established so far and post
it to my wiki, so others can peruse it and tell me where i screwed up.
maybe that will help narrow things down.

Make up your mind! How's that different from what I said?

You asked for an alleged solution that simply works, obviously you need
one different than what you've tried before, and nobody can do that
without knowing what you've tried or giving you the same things to try.

Yes, I don't like that approach either - in the other part of what you
discussed, recipes versus details of what's involved are two different
methodologies, and I'd prefer good instructional information than just a
list of steps that work for someone, and may not for another. But you
*did* discuss both ways (another suggestion, as well as good
descriptions of the processes).
