Hey Tom,
This must be a configuration error at your end.
I am currently connected just fine to:
ieee80211: join "19 Grams guest" chan 11 bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 83%
With this line in /etc/hostname.iwm0:
join '19 Grams guest'
> dmesg below ... for info ...
The info needed here is the extra lines written to /var/log/messages
after you run 'ifconfig iwm0 debug' and try to connect. (Disable again
with ifconfig iwm0 -debug when no longer needed.)
You will see lines which show matched attributes of each AP, with a leading
plus if the AP is considered a match, a minus if not, and an exclamation
mark next to each attribute which didn't match and caused the AP to be
rejected. In this example, the first AP did not match (-) because it
uses crypto and a different SSID, but the second one did (+):
/bsd: - xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 8 +54 54M ess privacy! no "19grams"!
/bsd: + yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy 11 +58 54M ess no no "19 Grams guest"
