regarding: http://www.freebsdmall.com/~loader/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/wireless/article.html 3.1.3.1 WPA-PSK there seems to be 2 problems with the WPA-PSK with the intel prowireless ipw2100 1) NO AUTOMATIC CONNECTION # /etc/rc.d/netif start does NOT come up with a key (it says the AP does not come with an offer) only # wpa_supplicant -i ipw0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf produces the SECOND time an association So the connection has to be made by hand everytime. 2) NO CONNECTION WITH "NO BROADCAST" It seems NOT possible to get a connection when the AP if that is set on NO Broadcast. my system: FreeBSD 6.2, Aspire 2001WLCi, intel centrino, with an Intel ProWireless 2100, 802.11b output (after connecting) from # dmesg | grep ipw0 ipw0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI> mem 0xd0000000-0xd0000fff irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci2 ipw0: Ethernet address: xxxxxxxxxxxx ipw0: link state changed to UP it would be great if you could look at it Wouter van der PLoeg
