Hi Dale,

It looks like you have successfully configured your interface, but
then you need to get an IP address, so you need an:

/sbin/dhclient rtw0

You can do this automatically in a hostname.if file (see man
hostname.if), but it should look something like:

dhcp \
nwid sundancer nwkey 0xYourHexPassword

hth

Fred
