Hi all,
I'm trying to get netcfg2 running but I have the following problem. I have to run netcfg2 several times before I can connect.
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up - Network unavailable [FAIL]
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up - Wireless association failed. [FAIL]
[root@Armada jules]# netcfg2 WiFi
:: WiFi up [DONE]
[root@Armada jules]#
iwconfig before I try to connect:
[root@Armada jules]# iwconfig

I did read the wiki. Anyway, I think I got it running now. I had to run "netcfg2 WiFi" from rc.local (for some reason adding the profile to rc.conf does not work) and I had to set the timeout value to 60.
