Wifi, network settings
I am confused, and even after reading the stickied topic :http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=6245 , also 'man ifconfig', and more, still confused.
If I have the modem set to "security mode = none", then I have no problem connecting to the wifi, but as soon as I set the modem to "WPA2-PSK" , and set the "shared key= thispasswd " (thispasswd) being the password, well then I can not connect, obviously sincee I need to use the password I set,.. This is my ifconfig , with out using any password : Code:
athn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 0c:60:76:00:05:9f index 1 priority 4 llprio 3 groups: wlan egress media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (HT-MCS7 mode 11n) status: active ieee80211: nwid Telcel-A757 chan 5 bssid 3c:cd:5d:2b:a7:57 Code:
dhcp to Quote:
Thanks

Thanks, both, what you show jggimi, worked perfectly,...I knew it was pretty simple,..but just could not remember, any way, great now we have a good working example here, and I am going to save the instruction to a file as well,.. thanks
P.S. also edited the hostname.athn0 files with the changes, so it should work when Iboot again.

If you're using hostname.<if> you should use the new syntax:
Code:
join my-router wpakey my-password dhcp |

Thanks, I was looking into that, one thing that has me confused, do I need to make a file named :
hostname.if ? At this time I have no file named "hostname.if" or is the "if",just meaning the interface, IE: mine : athn0

Quote:
Code:
nwid "Telcel-A757" wpakey "thispasswd" dhcp Code:
nwid mynwid wpakey thispasswd
