thx for prompt action.
i went to 'accessories' and kliked terminal: al@al-laptop
lspci - nn (return) and got
[a screenful of configuration keys. but no names.] i did see 'atheros' during an attempt to look at the bios. but it just flashed past with a note that 'shift + f10' would allow configuration. i don't know in what mode that is active.
there is a lan boot rom which i have set to 'enabled,' as that might be useful
none of this appears directly useful.
at this point, i can edit the 1st wireless screen, but can not get the security screen to light up 'apply'. the other screens will 'apply' although that just says the numbers are possible, not necessarily right.
maybe if i can get the security system on the wireless router and mirror it on the netbook something good will happen. this will take some time... will let you know results, and thx for efforts to date.
