Radio Card Re-Enabling Helps PDF Print E-mail

I've been working with radio cards radio from multiple vendors recently with a Linksys access point (actually router) and occasionally run into issues where a card isn't able to see the access point. This generally happens after activating and deactivating WEP or WPA. In order to fix the problem, I just simply disabled and then enabled the radio card. After that, the card is able to see the access point. I'm not sure why this happens, but it's something to keep in mind if you find a radio card that is having trouble either seeing or associating with an access point. I imagine that this is analogous to the benefits of rebooting a PC when problems arise.

UEP Are Bothersome

I find that unexplainable electronic phemenon (UEP) are bothersome. When making changes to an access point, it is necessary to reboot it in order for the changes to take effect. I suspect the STA's radio actually sees the access point after the reboot but does not display it's presence until a "view available wireless networks" is performed or the card is disabled and re-enabled.
