The mistake is trying to use shared key in an open-systems wireless network. I managed to get it right by having authomode open after managed to learn the difference of shared and open authmode and how to tell the mode of local network. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
