Im trying to get on my wireless network.
I am having a problem I think with the space in the name or something, but I don't want to change it.
This is what I have in my net.conf

Code:

essid_ra0="ASU Devils"
key_ASU_Devils="xxxxxxxxxx enc open"
sleep_scan_ra0="1"
sleep_associate_ra0="25"
config_ra0=( "dhcp" )


*The key is correct just didn't put it in the post.
**I know this because the same key works in windows.

When I run /etc/init.d/net.ra0 start
The essid=""
and dhcpd times out.

when I run iwlist ra0 scan I get
Code:

ra0       Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:18:39:48:BA:1A

Nope its really weird when I do
iwconfig ra0 essid "ASU Devils" key xxxxxxxxxx enc open

It connects and sees it but when I do dhcpd it connects to a different access point
The weird thing is it used to work lol.

I also tried downgrading the rt2500 module but still didn't work.
