Okay, I've gotten it working with all encryption off (raw DHCP). All the

ifconfig_iwi0="DHCP ssid rewired channel 11 authmode shared weptxkey 1
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890"

Can anybody spot it off the top?


By removing the hardwired 'channel 11 authmode shared' from both sides, I
have been able to connect successfully with WEP authentication.


Just a note (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong), but setting
the channel in the client's ifconfig statement is invalid in BSS mode--
it will pull the appropriate channel from the AP during the association.
