Great News at last!. Turns out that I was making a silly mistake but somehow went undetected. For the <nwkey> value as part of ifconifig, I was not giving a hex value, i.e., #ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.3 255.255.0. nwid <nwid> nwkey 1234 whereas I should have been giving #ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 nwid <nwid> nwkey 0x1234 then I do /etc/netstart, lo behold! everything starts working, dhclient starts working, ping google.com starts working. But what is puzzling to me why my error was never detected, should "ifconfig ath0 scan" work if I have given the wrong nwkey?. If it had thrown some error, then I could have been focusing my time on giving the right parameters for ifconfig, rather it made me look all over the system, until I stumbled upon the solution by having a N-th look at the man page for ifconfig. This problem literally drove me nuts. -m
