Hello,
I have just acquired a Linksys "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"
802.11b wireless NIC. When plugged into a 6.2 i386 laptop, dmesg
reports:
wi0: <The Linksys Group, Inc. Instant Wireless Network PC Card> at
port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1
wi0: using RF:PRISM3(PCMCIA)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.2)
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:06:25:18:6e:1d
When I attempted to connect to my WPA-PSK WAP, wpa_supplicant(8)
just hangs. When I turned off encryption on the WAP, and enter:
# dhclient wi0
Then the NIC connects just fine. So the question is, is the NIC or
the wi(4) driver incapable of WPA encryption?
Try adding;
ifconfig_wi0="DHCP"
to /etc/rc.conf.
That way it will run dhclient automatically whenever you plug the card
in.
I don't have a problem running dhclient, I have a problem with WPA.
Initially, my rc.conf said:
ifconfig_wi0="WPA DHCP"
and I had the correct entry in my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. I could
not connect to my WAP until I turned off WPA, as I stated in my OP.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Please excuse the noise...
