I'm using a Pretec modle OC-WLBXX-A card. I've specified a channel, but it seems to be skipping around from channel to channel until the connection is made. I've tried
iwconfig eth0 channel 6
but get the "operation not supported" error. Using the Network configure program and selecting "Rescan Neighbouhood" works great. It finds the AP, but the card still won't give me a solid light and connect. What's wierd is after about 10 minutes the light goes solid and everything works great.
