1.Thank you for assistance
2. will test your suggest today ...
2.1.>
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
Or maybe you need to specify the SSID here:
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid <yourssid> WPA SYNC"
2.2 .... Correct, except the spaces.
would use all without space
example
hostname ="sony"
key_mgmt="WPA-EAP"
if not work
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
3. The command
>
> # ifconfig wlan0 up scan
would test ... used before from ifconfig man
ifconfig wlan0 list scan
4. > Again, let me remind you of the diagnostic commands:
