<div>I've had some luck with manually running wpa_supplicant (with -i <interface name>) and then calling dhcpcd <interface name> manually, it was from netBSD but there is a good chance open has similar commands.<br></div>

<div>my config is on my computer at home, can send more details when i have it handy.<br></div>

<div>here is what i did on my netBSD laptop<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>$ wpa_passphrase <network-ssid> <password> >> /etc/wpa_supplicant_networks.conf<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>used ifconfig to find the interface name<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>then this script gets my wifi running<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>#!/bin/sh<br></div>
<div>wpa_supplicant -B -i <interface-name> -c /etc/wpa_supplicant_networks.conf<br></div>
<div>sleep 8<br></div>
<div># sometimes dhclient <interface-name> works as well depends on the setup<br></div>
<div>dhcpcd <interface-name><br></div>
<div># to print out if it worked or not<br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>there is a way to list ssids with wpa_supplicant but i forget the commands off hand<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>hope that helps<br></div>

<div>One thing that I've found, at least with the iwn drivers is that they don't<br></div>
<div>work with a hidden WPA2 network. (Someone on daemonforums had a similar<br></div>
<div>experience). Not knowing your situation, I don't know if that's relevant.<br></div>
