Thanks Scott. Following that page, when I run wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -cwpa.conf I get this output: Trying to associate with e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 (SSID='Nymphadora' freq=2412 MHz) ioctl[SIOCSIWFREQ]: Device or resource busy Association request to the driver failed Associated with e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 WPA: Key negotiation completed with e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to e0:46:9a:35:fb:98 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=] ... and it just sits there. Doesn't return to the prompt or anything. In another terminal, I ran dhclient wlan0 which returned to a prompt, however now ifconfig shows the interface having an IP given out by the wireless router. Great, we have progress. However, I'm still stuck at the previous terminal with the above mentioned output, and I also need this to happen automatically when the system reboots. Suggestions?
