ipw3945 fails to connect... :-(

H Forum

I have configured the ipw3945 wireless card in the loader.conf fine, added the lines
Code:
if_wpi_load=”YES”
wlan_load=”YES”
wlan_amrr_load=”YES”
firmware_load=”YES”
wpifw_load=”YES”
legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
and after rebooting i typed in a shell
Code:
ifconfig wpi0 up
ifconfig wpi0 list scan
ifconfig wpi0 ssid linksys
dhclient wpi0
but it failed to connect...

so i brought wpi0 down, and tried again...

Code:
