If a list of SSIDs is not displayed, make sure your
access point is on. Move your machine closer to
the access point and try starting from a again.
If your access point is set to not broadcast the
SSID you will have to manually add the SSID
name. For details, see the Network User's
Guide on the CD-ROM.
