Recently, I changed wireless modems at home (with Qwest) and have been re-connecting various devices etc. I finally got around to my PB 1400s, connecting with Orinoco silver cards. My hook still works fine at the office, so I know the card and the software and 'puter are fine and work. At home, when I look at the Orinoco control panel, what I see is my network detected for about 4 seconds at a time, then disconnected for 1-2 seconds, over and over. When the disconnect occurs, the upper light on the card seems to flicker once; when it reconnects, it flickers twice. The wireless network is working fine with other devices; it is set to broadcast the SSID; it is set to WPA2 security (which the silver card dealt with just fine before). I can't explain what is causing the drop out in the ability of the card to "see" the network. As a result, I can't hook at all, via WannaBe or Classilla. I've tried naming a new network and re-finding the wireless; it finds it to create the network but then the flickering starts.

Any guesses? Has anyone experienced this problem?
