SOLVED - New livecd install - no wireless connection

[Maurice]

I seem to be hogging the Minime forum this week.

But my problems don't stay problems very long with all the help out there.

I've just installed a livecd Minime and can't get a connection. I have two other Minime installations fully updated and they work fine. In fact I have installed from a livecd many times and got a connection right "out of the box". This is the very first time I've had trouble.

I do the usual configuration through PCC but no joy.

When I boot up the Verbose screen  goes so fast that I don't notice whether wlan0 sets up or not. On my other Minimes there is a distinct delay at this point.

Here is the logfile if it might be of use

Any help would be really appreciated.

This is a bit embarrassing.

It has come good for no reason that I can see and I've now got an excellent connection.

Thanks for reading.
