Riccardo, Have you created the file in /etc/hostname.interface ? in your case it would be /etc/hostname.ipw0 if your interface is ipw0
and the WEP Key or WPA KEY should be added, also remember to add dhcp. After you created the file with the content I added below, you should be able to execute netstart as root with: # sh /etc/netstart -- example of hostname file -- join "Network-WIFI" wpakey password dhcp -- end of example -- On Fri, Feb 12, 2021 at 10:10:32PM +0100, Riccardo Mottola wrote: > Hello > > > I just installed OpenBSD 6.8 on a Toshiba Tecra S1.
