I've just thrown an intel 3945 nic into my aspire one and I'm having trouble with a similar issue. In my reading of the man page for ifconfig, I've come to think that the
is actually generating a passkey from the phrase 'ABCpass', as opposed to specifying the pass 'ABCpass'.
My network is currently set for a 256 bit ASCII key, which OpenBSD doesn't seem to support (bash plays up a bit when I try). Once I'm able to temporarily change the key for my network, I think I'll have to try something along the lines of:
Quote:
sudo ifconfig wpi0 nwid NETWORK_NAME wpa wpapsk 0x64_CHAR_HEX_KEY

Hopefully I haven't misinterpreted the man page
.
[update]: Can confirm that this works
. It's been a long road to get wifi working on this laptop, the default atheros card is very poorly supported but this intel 3945 card works a treat.
