For some reason I'm unable to get the wireless Torpedo DM3730 SOM to connect to two of our access points. Strangely, it will connect to my Android smartphone hotspot. In every case, I'm using WPA2 security. Using the following command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network-wifi-station init Unless connecting to the smartphone, this command results in: Sending discover... Sending discover... Sending discover... No lease, forking to background... Are there any special requirements for the SSID and/or passphrase? I'm using 1021861_LogicPD_Linux_BSP_2.1-0

Mike, I'm making your solution available to the rest of the TDG community. Solution: Space characters in the SSID were the culprit. There are two options. 1. Do not use space characters in the SSID 2. Modify line 125 in wpa_supplicant script: From WPA_PSK=`/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase $WPA_SUPPLICANT_SSID $WPA_SUPPLICANT_PASSPHRASE \| grep ' psk='` To WPA_PSK=`/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase "$WPA_SUPPLICANT_SSID" $WPA_SUPPLICANT_PASSPHRASE \| grep ' psk='` NOTE: (Added double quotes around $WPA_SUPPLICANT_SSID)
