"iwconfig ra0 mode Managed" doesn't do anything.
iwlist ra0 scan :
-------------------------
ra0 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:05:9E:83:9C:C3
ESSID:"skynet"

-------------------------
But from what i see when doing ifup ra0 :
-------------------------
ifup: /sbin/ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig_set: /sbin/iwconfig ra0 mode managed channel 6 key off essid
skynet
iwconfig_ap: /sbin/iwconfig ra0 ap 00:05:9E:83:9C:C3
ifconfig_dhcp: /sbin/dhclient -q ra0
kill_dhcp: /sbin/dhclient -r ra0
.fails on dhcp
.fails on dhcp
.fails on dhcp
-------------------------
It seems that it does exactly the same thing,the right thing (line
2).It is trying to connect to channel 6 witch is right.The mac is
right.
And also after trying to connect with wlassistant the output from
iwconfig ra0 show Mode:Managed and the correct mac.
And from what i noticed from my windows connection the ap doesn't have
no type of encryption.
But it seems to me that it still fails on the dhcp aquisition. :( .It
seems quite frustrating to me :| because
there is no abvious problem rather the dhcp one.
