The WiFi access point in my house and this computer (OpenBSD current
amd64) were working well together until I updated to the May 13
snapshot. Now, I am unable to establish a connection through ifconfig
if the nwid is not broadcasted. The WiFi light on my Thinkpad T500 just
blinks forever, and I am unable to get an address through dhclient.
Hoping it was fixed since then, I did a source update to the latest
current just a few hours ago, but the problem still exists. After some
testing, I found the cause of the problem to be that the nwid was not
broadcasted. After changing the settings on the router to broadcast the
nwid, I am now able to establish a connection.
The command I'm using to connect is:
$ ifconfig iwn0 nwid mynetworkname wpa wpapsk `wpa-psk mynetworkname mykey` up;
dhclient iwn0
