Hi Guys,
My iwi interface works very well if I set it up with
/etc/hostname.iwi0, but if I change access points I can usually not
get onto a new network. For example, consider this scenario:
At location 1 with open AP 'dlink' available:
# echo "dhcp nwid dlink" > /etc/hostname.iwi0
(reboot), and all is well.
I move to a new location without rebooting, and I want to get onto a
new AP, for example 'attwifi', so I try:
# ifconfig nwid attwifi (However this will almost never result in
'status active', sometimes it does work, randomly.)
# sh /etc/netstart iwi0 (rarely works because it says no link)
I have tried to reset it to defaults with the man page example, but
this doesn't work either.. I'll try something like this:
ifconfig iwi0 -bssid -chan media autoselect nwid "" -nwkey -wpa -wpapsk
ifconfig iwi0 nwid attwifi
ifconfig iwi0 up
sh /etc/netstart iwi0
(However this usually does not work either)
So I am often forced to reboot just to change AP's, and that is rather
annoying. Any thoughts? I am running -current but have had this issue
since 4.5-release
The machine is an IBM T42p
