Internally, the channel set for monitor mode is tracked in a different variable than in the other modes (yet another thing that should probably be fixed). So try clearing and setting the channel again at this point. > # ifconfig iwm0 nwid WIFI-NET-5G wpakey skcuserawmrifletni > # ifconfig iwm0 192.168.1.8/24 > # ifconfig iwm0 > iwm0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > lladdr 80:19:34:ab:ab:ab > index 5 priority 4 llprio 3 > groups: wlan > media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11n (HT-MCS0 mode 11n) > status: no network > ieee80211: nwid WIFI-NET-5G chan 132 wpakey wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk > wpaciphers ccmp wpagroupcipher ccmp > inet 192.168.1.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 > > At this point, the interface never leaves status of "no network". > > I also tried with another network near me (to rule out it being an Apple > Airport issue) and have the same issues. Based on this I cannot tell why it does not manage to connect. Please enable: ifconfig iwm0 debug Now watch for scan results with: tail -f /var/log/messages The scan result entries should show a ! next to attributes that did not match and prevented an AP from being selected. And it should print some messages about association frames being exchanged with an AP that it is trying to use. With this information we might be able to tell why it is not associating.
