What is the wireless adapter in the nc6000, and what driver? Is it possible to
turn off encryption in the AP? If you can and do, what happens?

One other thing to do is to manually start wpa_supplicant. From a ‘ps ax’
listing, you can see the command line. From a console, enter than line omitting
any -B switch and using -ddd to get the maximum verbosity.
