Hello,
This is my first post, so forgive me if I inadvertently commit a
"gaffe".
I am looking for advice regarding the setting-up of my wireless network
card with wpa.
I have installed the current release OpenBSD 4.5 on my asus A6 laptop.
So far as I can tell, everything works perfectly except for the
Intel pro/wireless 2200BG wireless nic (driver iwi, device iwi0) that
I have been unable
to put to work.
As per man page instructions, I have installed into "/etc/firmware" the
files from "iwi-firmware-3.0p0.tgz".
I have created the "/etc/hostname.iwi0" file with contents:
dhcp NONE NONE NONE nwid my_essid wpa \
wpapsk $(wpa-psk my_essid my_passphrase)
At boot-time, when comes the time to initialize the network, the following
message is printed:
iwi0: no link ............. sleeping
I have also tried to activate the card with the instruction:
ifconfig iwi0 -bssid chan 6 nwid WirelessFromTVCabo\
-nwkey txpower 20 wpa wpaakms psk wpagroupcipher ccmp\
wpaprotos wpa2 wpapsk $(wpa-psk my_essid my_passphrase)
dhclient iwi0
with the same results.
The previous commands closely reproduce the setup on a debian
installed on another partition.
The output of "dmesg" is:

On the other hand, a dmesg on debian will output

That is, on debian, the irq 18 is used.
For the sake of completeness, the output of iwconfig on debian is:
eth2 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"my_essid"

and ifconfig on debian:

Needless to say, the wireless card works on debian.
Would some kind soul point me in the right direction?
Best regards,
