I followed the handbook and searched online but yet still unable to get
a wireless connection to an access point.

I have in my rc.conf file:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

and in the wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
  ssid="myssid"
  psk="mypassword"
}

It associates but does not get an ip.

I works fine with Windows or with Ubuntu.

Any help is appreciated.

Derek
