Hi

Configuring my wlan card manually is no problem, but the config below does not work (/etc/conf.d/net):

essid_ath0="myessid" #line 1
key_myessid="s:mykey"
iface_ath0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_ath0="-d"

During booting dhcp assigns an ip address, but there seems to be a problem with lines 1/2. Doing iwconfig it shows the card, but no essid. This works:

# iwconfig ath0 essid myessid
# iwconfig ath0 key s:mykey
# dhcpcd ath0

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I've noticed that some of the cards can be kind of quarky. Try putting the first two lines below the others and you might have better luck. If you post more information, we may be able to help a little more.

Thanks. I used the wrong net.ath0 script. It's working now.
