Gosh, I don't understand anything. I am sorry that I am overwhelming
your inboxes today but

1- I tried to make the nwid visible (it's possible to make it invisible)

2- I also tried to switch off the wep key

and _nothing_

But the wlan CAN scan the networks! When I type ifconfig -M iwi0 I get
the usual neighbour's access points and mine! It's only that protocol
doesn't get a DHCPOFFER

I am writing this email from a debian laptop connected to my network
and the funny thing is that the wlan chip is the same one...

any hint?

I want to totally move to O'bsd but wlan connection is crucial for me
and it's the only thing that's stopping me to install obsd on the
production laptop, I'm bored of the crashbox, now I want to make the
Move

Cheers,

Hi Pau,

have you tried putting something like:

    dhcp NONE NONE NONE \
    nwid pepitogrillo nwkey eltrenloco

in your hostname.iwi0 file and then using:

/bin/sh -x /etc/netstart iwi0

to restart the interface?

I have had an issue with an ipw0 Intel Pro 2100 that would only clear its wifi connection on reboot, with the appropriate hostname.if just uping and downing the interface was not clearing the nwkey.
