I tried today both 'ifconfig' and 'wpa_supplicant'; I comme to
'associated/connected' , no IP

that said, the key they provide me really is 26 characters, I have to
split it in twice 13 to get it accepted both by 'ifconfig' and
'wpa_supplicant' which is very probably wrong ....

Couldn't find (quickly) anything on iff and howto for 26 caracter keys

nope, 'ping' (probably filtered) to defaultroute and DNS-lookup both
fail

More later,

thanx for your help.

Kind regards, Arno
