Hi,
i try to do working my wifi carte on my laptop asus W6A.
My AP is a livebox inventel.
I use WPA encryption and i don't find the DHCP proprieter for the wireless.

I try to connect with no security but whaterver configuration i have in my ifconfig :
status: no carrier

this is my config file :

Thank for your help

Hi,
I am not an expert,but I think you have problem with assigning the
dhcp interface.

===========================
rc.conf :
> #configuration pour la carte wifi
> ifconfig_iwi0="DHCP WPA"
===============================

My config is this:

ifconfig_iwi0="DHCP"

Do you have a MAC authorisation on AP?

In your config file I see that you don't have a carrier on wireless
card, whitch means
that your card is theoretically working, but do not have permisson to
access the AP.
I would try firs to disable the wpa encryption,and disable the MAC
authorisation, to make sure the card is working propertly.
Your config file is showing that your wpa encryption is ON.... hmmm interesting.
Please reply the result, I am qourious about this.
Thanks.
