Has anyone used the icon on a cisco wireless network. I'm running th e871w and cant connect. I even used the network manager made a profile by hand entered the ssid channel etc. still wont connect.

I saw the manager offers wpa but I guess officially it doesn't work yet.

Of course, you will have to temporarily turn off MAC address filtering
to connect the Icon to your router. This is the way I recommend, since
you can copy and paste the info from one part of your router
configuration to the other if necessary.

I'm not sure how useful, at least to those users who aren't
technically-minded or who don't care, the listing of the MAC address
in
the status menu would be.
As Kevin mentioned, you can log into the console and find it out with
the `ifconfig' command.

The other way, for which you asked clarification, is to access the
DHCP
client list on your router.  This list will show the devices connected
to your router via DHCP with their corresponding MAC addresses.

Hope this helps.


Best regards,
