Description: When I try to connect to an access point with
'dhcpcd wlan0', wlan0 times out. Iwconfig shows the essid
but not the access point's MAC. I have reinstalled Arch, the
drivers, and everything. I have to remove
/var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid and run 'iwlist wlan0 scan', then
'dhcpcd wlan0' again before it will work. I cannot run the
scan unless I have already tried dhcpcd because it reports
that the device doesn't support scanning and isn't active,
and it fails everytime. I don't use rc.conf or /etc/wireless
to set it up because I don't want it to connect to just any
access point. I've requested help on IRC and was told to
post a bug report. My system is up to date.
Additional info: * package version(s) [zack@rbox ~]$ pacman -Q iwlwifi iwlwifi 1.0.0.1-1 [zack@rbox ~]$ pacman -Q iwlwifi-4965-ucode iwlwifi-4965-ucode 4.44.17-1 [zack@rbox ~]$ * config and/or log files etc. None... Steps to reproduce: Every time you try to run dhcp on the interface before running iwlist. Temporary Solution: [zack@rbox ~]$ cat npnwifi.sh iwconfig wlan0 essid apnamehere; iwconfig wlan0 key wepkeyhere; rm /var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid; dhcpcd wlan0; rm /var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid; iwlist wlan0 scan; dhcpcd wlan0; echo "finished..."; exit; [zack@rbox ~]$ |

dhcpcd wlan0
Probably you need to put the interface up before it will do anything. If you do the ifconfig wlan0 up before anything, I don't even think the scanning is required.
