iwi0 connection frustration

Hi,
I am still testing my "crashbox" (not bad, from zero to a full OpenBSD
system including port trees in less than a week :) ) but I have now an
issue with the wlan connection. The card is an Intel PRO/Wireless
2200BG
First of all: I have read the man pages (good boy, good boy! arf, arf!)
My net:
nwid: pepitogrillo
nwkey: eltrenloco
(hahaha!)
I have pkg_add'ed the damien firmware (sigh)
But still I cannot connect. My command line is
sudo ifconfig iwi0 nwkey eltrenloco nwid pepitogrillo
(I hope that the order of the factors doesn't alter the product! Is
iwi an abelian group? )
and then
sudo dhclient iwi0
After the first DHCPDISCOVER on iwi0 to 255.255.255.255 I get
"send_packet: No buffer space available", this goes on some 12 times
and then No DHCPOFFERS received and No working leases in presistent
database - sleeping
I cannot show you dmesg because, as a matter of fact, the crashbox
doesn't have connection :) And I don't feel like typping everything!
Trying it via /etc/hostname.iwi0 doesn't help
Any hint? (I am sure yes!)
thanks in advance,
Pau
PS: You still didn't answer me whether it's possible to scan wlan
connections (nwids) in some way!
