DLink DIR-625 Router

[Dave Germiquet]

I'd try the following:

- Try on another OS (Mac/WIndows)
- If it works on another OS (Mac/Windows) you know its a configuration
issue on linux
- if it doesnt work on the windows os or mac you can tell them you've
tried on a supported platform :)
- Check the authentication your using
- check to see if you are you using MAC ADDRESS filtering?

- If its visible on the windows/mac systems, try the command line utility:

> iwlist scan

This will tell you if its available.

I'd try installing wicd, and using that to connect and choosing the
right driver (madfi,wext,...etc)
If your using the wrong driver the wireless will not work correctly.

wicd makes using wireless-tools fairly simple, and provides a nice grahical gui.

I am not sure what I did to cause this.  The router has the option of making the wireless invisible, but I have turned this off.
