but Windows XP detects my network just fine.
This means linksys paid m$ several thousand dollars for this feature, which you paid for in the end. Amount linksys paid to open source development? Amount paid for knoppix 5.0? I hope it is $0 because 5.0.1 is out and it for sale, $0!

but I offer no help *sigh* sry.

what do you mean with "does not detect find my network?"
