The problem at Mugs in Old Town is that there are 7 other access points 
"visible" inside the coffee shop as of last week.  You have to 
specifically set your ESSID to "Mugs (Armstrong)" to get the right AP. 
I gave the girls there the right info to put on their help page in the 
setup instructions they have.  Several of those access points are for 
the free APs that are popping up all over Old Town, but I don't recall 
what ESSID those are (and the signal strenght inside Mugs is not that 
great anyway).

And it works just fine for me under Debian GNU/Linux.  Should work fine 
with RedHat and SuSE distro's as well.

Regards,
Mike
