With ipw3945, and using NetworkManager I could connect to my home using WPA
Personal2 + tkip, but surprisingly unable to connect to any open wireless.
So, for that, I got a script to stop networkManager and switch to
wpa_supplicant, which always works.
Any idea what I may have mis-configured?
thanks in advance
