I have the same problem. I haven't traced the problem to the source yet but to get a wireless connection, I need to do "iwpriv authmode 2" on the command line, then kill and restart dhcpcd for ath0. I have an older laptop with an Atheros chip, and it doesn't seem to need this step for some reason. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Arvid Ephraim Picciani <aep@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Hi, > netcfg is quite what i need for my laptop. unfortunatly i can't get it to > work with the built in atheros card.
