I could connect to my WPA2 protected wlan following the indications on
the above page even though I was getting the same message.

But it was just once, when I got the Freerunner. Now, after several opkg
upgrades (don't know if it's related thoug), I can't get it to get a
lease anymore.

I tried running wpa_supplicant in foreground (ie without the -B swith)
to catch additionnal error messages. I get :

ioctl[SIOCGIWSCAN]: Resource temporarily unavailable

After that, udhcpc0 can't get a lease and goes

forever...
