Since i also have problems configuring my wireless correctly, i
thought to find there a solution for my problems, but sadly not...

Well, i'm running the ipw module and my AP is doing WEP only.
So i configured the following:

[/boot/loader.conf]
  wlan_load=YES
  wlan_wep_load=YES
  if_ipw_load=YES

[/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf]
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
        ssid="my_ssid_here"
        scan_ssid=1
        key_mgmt=NONE
        wep_key0=8a2be2bf33f099cdcca3ff2fab
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
        auth_alg=SHARED
        group=WEP104
        priority=1

}
(Random bits in key modified)

The network configuration is proven to be working, since i can connect
if i use these settings to manually ifconfig ipw0.

But, when using "wpa_supplicant -d -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i
ipw0", i get only the following error output:

Received 0 bytes of scan results (2 BSSes)

But, as said, if using ifconfig it works fine:

# ifconfig ipw0 ssid my_ssid_here wepmode on authmode shared weptxkey
1 wepkey 0x8a2be2bf33f099cdcca3ff2fab channel 6
# dhclient ipw0
==> online



Any hints on that? For my eyes it looks like wpa_supplicant has a
problem with configuring the IPW correctly with WEP data.

Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix.
I don't think that this is a coincidence.
