I've been trying to get wireless working on this system for hours now. For most of the issues, I've been able to find the answers through Google though now I've hit a roadblock. The biggest problem is that I can't wire the system so I'll need to be able to download all workarounds and transfer them over via USB stick.
Code:
# vi /etc/rc.conf
eth0="dhcp"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 key <key> essid <essid> mode managed"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
Code:
# iwconfig
