Issues getting on the net with wlan0 [SOLVED]

Hello!

I've managed to be able to see my network (if that count's for anything) but can not get on to it.
I installed netcfg, went in to /etc/network.d/examples/wpa.example and entered in all of my details - I then cp'd that over to /etc/networkd.d/   - it's just been renamed to wpa.

I now dhcpcd wlan0 but it just gives me "already running on pid 2546" so i kill 2546 && dhcpcd wlan0 and it times out with warn - using IPV4LL address 169.254.40.16.
I have also tried iwconfig wlan0 Tony passkey    - but that also does not work. Spitting out "Tony : command not found: - however, the archwiki says to enter it this way.

iwlist wlan0 scan | less comes out with master netgear and Tony - both the same. Tony looks a bit like -

Cell 02 - Address: 00.14.6C.AC.6E.8C
ESSID: "Tony"
Mode:Master
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (channel 11)
Quality=55/64 Signal level=23/65
Encryption key = On
IE: WPA Version 1
Group cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers TKIP
Auth Suites : PSK



Any help would be much appreciated.

Post the netcfg profile you're using.

Fixed.
All I had to do was type in netcfg-menu and select wpa.
I'm away.

I'm not sure you did this, but you have to '# netcfg wlan0 wpa' once you set up your profile (you don't need to use iwconfig or dhcpcd yourself anymore) or add net-profiles to your rc.conf to connect automatically.

Please add [SOLVED] to the subject-line of this thread.

No, it's simply "netcfg <profilename>" - no need to specify wlan0.

So if I want to connect to the profile uniwireless, I would do:

netcfg uniwireless
