36 I get
37 connect: Network is unreachable

59 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
60 This is the reason
61
62 But where is wpa_cli started, when I have
63 config_wlan0="dhcp" instead of
64 config_wlan0="192.168.1.33 netmsk 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
65
66 Sometimes, openrc is hard. I even don't know where to start searching.
