Hi,

I am still testing my "crashbox" (not bad, from zero to a full OpenBSD
system including port trees in less than a week :) ) but I have now an
issue with the wlan connection. The card is an Intel PRO/Wireless
2200BG

First of all: I have read the man pages (good boy, good boy! arf, arf!)

My net:

nwid: pepitogrillo

nwkey: eltrenloco

(hahaha!)

I have pkg_add'ed the damien firmware (sigh)

But still I cannot connect. My command line is

sudo ifconfig iwi0 nwkey eltrenloco nwid pepitogrillo

(I hope that the order of the factors doesn't alter the product! Is
iwi an abelian group? )

and then

sudo dhclient iwi0

After the first DHCPDISCOVER on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 I get
"send_packet: No buffer space available", this goes on some 12 times
and then No DHCPOFFERS received and No working leases in presistent
database - sleeping

I cannot show you dmesg because, as a matter of fact, the crashbox
doesn't have connection :) And I don't feel like typping everything!

Trying it via /etc/hostname.iwi0 doesn't help

Any hint? (I am sure yes!)

thanks in advance,

Pau

PS: You still didn't answer me whether it's possible to scan wlan
connections (nwids) in some way!
