What I usually do is this: # wificonfig -i ath0 createprofile home essid=MYSSID wepkey1=MYWEPKEY # ifconfig ath0 plumb # wificonfig -i ath0 connect home # ifconfig ath0 dhcp to connect to my home network, and connecting usually fails with the same error as the OP. Other times the connection will succeed, and I'll be able to see traffic on the interface via snoop, but dhcp offers and even arp responses seem to be ignored. The only workaround I have found is to disable wireless on the access point, and then re-enable it and try again, which then always succeeds. -- Eric Enright
