Sepherosa,

I've got working WPA finally on my ipw220. Thank you *very* much for your work 
and your support!

There's left only a 'cosmetic' issue:

When I use no encryption (no WEP, no WPA), I use this successfully to 
establish a network connection:

/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_iwi0="inet 192.168.2.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid SchlesisFunknetz 
wepmode off

and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
iwicontrol iwi0 -d /usr/libdata/iwi_firmware


I've modified this files to work with WPA, too, but it doesn't work:

I set the IP-address in my /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_iwi0="inet 192.168.2.101 netmask 255.255.255.0"

The WPA thingy should be automagically enabled by a 
modified /etc/start_if.iwi0:
ifconfig iwi0 up
nohup wpa_supplicant -i iwi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf > /var/log/wpa.log &
route add default 192.168.2.1

On boot time, the notebooks seems to hang on /etc/start_if.iwi0, until I do a 
Ctrl-C.

Do you have any idea, why the /etc/start_if.iwi0 script does not work on boot 
time?
