Thanks. Tried that but that didn't work either. I also see that there is a
small error in my first post:
What I get on booting is: bwi0: no link .............sleeping
I just tried this in /etc/hostname.bwi0:
dhcp nwid mynwid wpa wpapsk $(wpa-ps mynwid mynwkey)
ifconfig -a shows:
bwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:16:ce:49:a8:e1
groups: wlan
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
status: no network
ieee80211: nwid mynwid wpapsk 0xabunchofhexdecimal wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2
wpaakms psk,802.1x wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip
inet6 fe80::216:ceff:fe49:a8e1%bwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
enc0: flags=0<> mtu 1536
Still no network connection :(
Am I making this too hard?
Thanks.
