Hi,

a bit stuck...

My setup:

I have a mini (atom based) system sitting next to my tv/amplifier, which 
runs pulseaudio sound server. This allows my wife to stream her music to 
the hi-fi.

Wife's pc is wired to the router, and the atom accesses via wireless.

Today I upgraded my router to a n-network (as well as the atom's network 
card), as the sound had sometimes a stutter on the G-network.

And now the issue:

My office machine see the new belkin AP fine, and I can connect to it 
(using a G-Based network card) (new AP is set to allow N and G networks 
for now)
The atom (which is only 5-6 meters away from it) does not seem to be 
able to connect. Struggled for most of the day.
I put back the old g based ap back up, and the atom can connect to it fine.

Using iwlist scan on the atom, I cannot get the N based AP to show in 
the list.
It does show up on the office machine's iwlist.

I have a usb d-link adaptor.
WHen plugged into the atom, thesame, only the g-based ap shows. Plugging 
it into the office machine, it shows both.

So now I am stuck.

There must be something missing from the atom's install, but I have no 
clue what its is (ubuntu server 9 install)

Any ideas/pointer would be appreciated.
