[ale] Script won't assosciate my wireless?

[Robert L. Harris]

Tried a sleep 30.

Now I'm confused.  I put the exact command in another script, had this
script call that and it associates.  If I remove the sub-script and put
the exact command in the place of the sub-script, it fails again.


Thus spake james at sumners.ath.cx (james at sumners.ath.cx):
