a) Have you tried connecting without WPA?
No, I haven't yet. (I don't have rights to fiddle with AP configuration
right now and cannot access to any other AP. But will try my chance
talking with the related personal and post results ASAP.)
But, I tried something similar:
# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep FOREIGN-AP -A 9 -B 1
Cell 07 - Address: 00:11:95:DA:4A:2D
ESSID:"FOREIGN-AP"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11g
Mode:Managed
Frequency:2.447 GHz (Channel 8)
Quality:14/100 Signal level:-87 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm
Encryption key:off

12 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s
48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s

# cat /etc/network/interfaces

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
I don't know if FOREIGN-AP has any DHCP service or not, but at least I
tried my chance. They may have some sort of IP/MAC based protection too,
I dunno. (Tried replacing "dhcp" with "static" and using 192.168.1.{1,2}
as gateway addresses with no luck.)
b) What doesn't work in your setup? Can you ping the AP? Please
describe in detail what works, if anything, and what doesn't.
Yep, I cannot ping the gateway, despite "wpa_cli status" tells me
wpa_state=COMPLETED. If you'd suggest me other ways to collect related
diagnostics, I'll happily report them too.
Regards.
