Thanks my friend. The below configuration I copy&pasted from a public Blog . Finally setup DHCP server on XP Windows machine and TVersity started to work. Yesterday got a nice email from President of the TVersity.

The WLAN driver does not support Wireless Extensions fully, so you have to be carefull when using it. The order matters and especially the interface must be up (ie. ifconfig wlan0 up) before doing any configuration. I know, this sucks. -- Kalle Valo Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
