I'm trying to get this working but I'm having some trouble. The
following command finds the unencrypted AP at two different locations:
iwlist ath0 scanning
but wpa_supplicant will only connect if I specify ap_scan=0. It will
connect that way but I get something like:
connected to SSID "whatever" at address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
and it always fails during DHCP after that.
Also, what should I be careful with when connected via an unencrypted
AP? I've read that SSH is OK, but passwords submitted via a browser
are in the open even if using SSL. Is that right?
