Advice and Workarounds
Issue
The Client will not start on the device with an
error message about missing files.
The wireless network interface (port) does not
appear in the main AEGIS window.
The Client is not attaching to the correct AP.
The Client is failing authentication even though
all my information was entered correctly.
My AP does not broadcast its SSID. Even
though I have manually configured an AP with
that name, the Client won't associate with it.
I am authenticated, but I don't get an IP
address through DHCP.
I cannot attach to my old network that does not
support 802.1x authentication, but is using
WEP encryption.
I made changes, but they do not appear to have
taken effect.
How do I enable peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) mode to
have two clients communicate without an AP?

available AP. You must select a network, move it to the Configured
Networks list, and then move it above default in the list using the up
arrow buttons.
