ifconfig iwm0 debug (or debug in your hostname.iwm0 file for a more permanent presence) should produce more verbose reporting, at least. And of course, a full dmesg along with ifconfig -a output would likely be useful. Running tcpdump to capture whatever passes through the interface while you're trying to connect is another main source of information about what fail and how, of course. Some access points are just plain weird - in some cases I've had to play with of all things mtu sizes (setting them to various values lower than the 1500 byte default) in order to successfully connect. Any quirks like those will turn up as the hints tcpdump will show you. -- Peter N. M.
