ifup wlan0 problem
I have an Intel 4965 WiFi in my Debian testing laptop. I can connect to the
Internet via the sequence of commands
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid
# iwconfig wlan0 key mykey
# iwconfig
# dhclient wlan0
which gives the following output in the terminal

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
and no connection is established. In my /etc/network/interfaces file, I have
included the entries
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid myessid
wireless-key mykey
Any suggestion?
