Good day,

I'm trying to get FreeBSD going on a soekris box with an atheros based =
D-Link PCI wifi card. I intend to use this combination to bridge a =
difficult network back to ethernet but right now I'm just trying to get =
the soekris associated to the network. The network is managed by an =
Apple Airport Extreme. Note that this combination connects just fine to =
my MiFi 4082. I only have a problem connecting to the Airport.

The soekris box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE built from source about =
11/15/2011.=20

I have this in my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network=3D{
    ssid=3D"Vindaloo"
    psk=3D"************"
}

network=3D{
    ssid=3D"Vindaloo-Mobile"
    psk=3D"**********"
}

If I read the wireless setup document right I need this in my =
/etc/rc.conf:

wlans_ath0=3D"wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0=3D"ssid Vindaloo WPA DHCP"

This box appears to associate with the network just fine but then it =
doesn't receive anything except broadcast traffic.
