Hello.  I am having difficulty establishing a connection to the
internet through the subject device which serves as our internet
connection at home.

Computer: Lenovo T43 Thinkpad running OpenBSD 4.6 (I will be upgrading
to 4.8 later this year); iwi wireless driver; I downloaded the
firmware and installed it as a package.

I have read ifconfig but I'm missing something.

What I have tried and what works so far:

"ifconfig iw0 scan" detects the mifi device and identifies it:

nwid "Verizon MiFi2200 BB2F Secure" chan 11 bssid <6 part id> 82db 54M
privacy,short_preamble,short_slottime

I try connecting using the network id shown above and the 11 digit
password on the back of the mifi unit:

ifconfig iwi0 up nwid "<network id>" nwkey "01234567891"

The output of ifconfig shows "status: no network"

dhclient times out with no link.

I am neglecting to do something or doing something wrong.  I've seen
at least one person on Twitter get this working with OpenBSD, so I
know, at least in some configurations, it's possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Carl T.
