Also, simpler wpa_supplicant.conf is better than complex! Make sure psks are actually right :). ifconfig wlan0 destroy route flush mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.old killall wpa_supplicant killall dhclient ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwn0 ifconfig wlan0 up sleep 1 ifconfig wlan0 scan wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B sleep 4 dhclient wlan0 I had the same card daily in FreeBSD since early 2010.
