Gosh, I don't understand anything. I am sorry that I am overwhelming your inboxes today but
1- I tried to make the nwid visible (it's possible to make it invisible) 2- I also tried to switch off the wep key and _nothing_ But the wlan CAN scan the networks! When I type ifconfig -M iwi0 I get the usual neighbour's access points and mine! It's only that protocol doesn't get a DHCPOFFER I am writing this email from a debian laptop connected to my network and the funny thing is that the wlan chip is the same one... any hint? I want to totally move to O'bsd but wlan connection is crucial for me and it's the only thing that's stopping me to install obsd on the production laptop, I'm bored of the crashbox, now I want to make the Move Cheers, Pau 2006/11/28, Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I said I was writing blindly because the laptop was at home but, of course, after an ifconfig iwi0 up I get the correct flag there... UP 2006/11/28, Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > ahem...
