That should make no different for the state. The current definition of
online is that you are associated (or cable is plugged in), DHCP
retrieved an IP and that one has been set.
When calling list-connections (or test-manager) do you see any
connection object. If yes, then the state should be online. If not, then
you are not. So if DHCP fails, then your WiFi can be associated, but it
doesn't count as a connection.

We can set the same key on all four indexes if that helps anybody, but
other than set I am not sure if that helps, since the card can only use
one index at a time anyway. Also I don't know if the key index makes a
difference over the air? Meaning if it has to match with the index of
the AP. Just never thought about this. I have been dealing with WiFi for
over 10 years now and I have no answer to this. Never used it in my life
and here we are talking about a time where we had only WEP.
