The default is to connect to whatever local net is available. If the network name is blank, you will connect to anything. If you want to connect to a specific net, you must specify the network name. For WEP encrypted nets you must enter a transmission key and tell the card to run encryption using that key. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
