Hello @Misc,
I have an OpenBSD 4.7 (i386) based router with a ral(4) card in it.
For some reason, my old iBook cannot seem to join the AP, either
unencrypted or encrypted. My other clients (a Windows Vista machine
and a few Debian machines have no such issues). The iBook gives me the
wonderfully descriptive error: "Unknown error joining the wireless
network". Running a tcpdump on the ral0 interface doesn't actually
show any packets during the process while the lovely little OSX
pinwheel spins aimlessly before failing to connect. Does anyone here
on misc have some troubleshooting ideas? Anyone seen this problem
before?
