Thank you very much.<br><br>Uf, still desperate. I tried to write the wpa_supplicant.conf, run wpa_supplicant and then dhclient. The output of wpa_supplicant did not make me be optimistic and, of course, dhclient failed.<br>
<br>What do I have to do? Is this sequence right?<br><br>1) Write the wpa_supplicant.conf file.<br>2) Run wpa_supplicant -dd -D madwifi -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and leave it running?<br>3) Then, dhclient ath0?<br>
<br>If not, can you please correct me?<br><br>If yes, can you please tell me the wpa_supplicant.conf file, based on the output of iwlist ath0 scan that I wrote in the previous email? (sorry if I look to be abusing, but I have tried for 5 hours with no results :-( ).
