I have the same problem. I haven't traced the problem to the source yet but to get a wireless connection, I need to do "iwpriv authmode 2" on the command line, then kill and restart dhcpcd for ath0. I have an older laptop with an Atheros chip, and it doesn't seem to need this step for some reason. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Arvid Ephraim Picciani <aep@ibcsolutions.de>

Hi, netcfg is quite what i need for my laptop. unfortunatly i can't get it to work with the built in atheros card. The errror is "wireless association failed". Well obviously atheros doesnt associate automaticly. you have to do it manually. not a problem, i just set an ap via iwconfig and it works. netcfg has an option IWOPTS. the docs claim this will be passed to iwconfig. unfiortunatly that is not the case.

so where can i set the ap?
