Quoting David Gurvich <david.gurvich@verizon.net>: > Hello, > I am using FreeBSD-7.0-RELEASE and an intel 2100 wireless mini-pci > card.

I have the 3945abg card and =20 hence the OS can see the iface why would you then specify the driver? Have you tried wpa_supplicant -ddD bsd -i ipw0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -= B (-d is for debbugin -dd is for twice the verbosity) Can you try running wpa_supplicant -id ipw0 -c /etc/***wpa.conf & if you are running off an dhcp server after connecting to the wireless =20 gateway why don't you just run: dhclient ipw0? Sounds like you are making it more dificult then it needs to be, maybe =20 I am wrong David > > I have no problem with establishing a connection, in fact that works > quite easily.
