I went to a windows box and it says the encryption methods were either TKIP or
AES : it uses TKIP. It is also WPA-PSK, not WPA2-PSK.
The AP in question is a NETGEAR WPN824.

Subject: iwn stopped working after OpenBSD upgrade in January, 2010
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:50:57 +0000
I have been tracking openbsd current (i386) for a while. The latest upgrade
OpenBSD 4.6-current (GENERIC.MP) #391: Fri Jan 15 14:55:45 MST 2010
and iwn-firmware-5.2.tgz seem to no longer work. I have a 'no link' error
when I try to connect. Scanning , however does appear to work.
Details:
In /var/log/messages:

looks normal
when I do ifconfig iwn0 it also looks normal
ifconfig iwn0

NETGEAR is the AP for which I have the wpapsk set.

This did work at an earlier version of openbsd. Any help is appreciated.
