I spent a bit of time running ifconfig iwn0 scan (and getting frustrated) both with and without debug. What made it work may have been specifying dhcp, because the other bad news is that assigning a fixed IPv4 address still does not work: ifconfig will report the address as bound to the interface, but the router shows the connection as being at 0.0.0.0. Works OK to get to things on my own subnet, but not so well otherwise. Failing hostname.iwn0 (sanitized) below signature. This hostname.iwn0 was generated using ifconfig commands. -- Edward Ahlsen-Girard Ft Walton Beach, FL nwid *********** wpakey ************ inet 192.168.0.235 255.255.255.0 NONE
