I am having trouble connecting to one of the wifi APs in my neighborhood.
Following is my connection script.
sudo iwconfig ath0 essid "linksys"
sudo iwconfig ath0 ap 00:18:39:20:29:CA
sudo dhclient ath0
sudo iwlist ath0 scan
sudo ping xspace.com
Following is the output when I run the script:
sit0: unknown hardware address type 776
wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801

But when i try to use the seeming connection, there is nothing.
For most of the APs to which I attempt to connect, everything is fine, but in
a few cases like this one I can't connect.
Thanks very much in advance,
