Hello,

I am having problem connecting to internet in my openbsd desktop. During installation I was unable to connect to my mobile hotspot (don't have wifi). I didn't pay much attention to it and continued to installation. After installation I went to install firmware for my wifi card (cheap wifi dongle using mtw firmware) using android usb tethring. After doing a fw_update, I tried to connect to mobile hotspot using ifconfig utility as stated in faq I did ifconfig mtw0 nwid xyz wpakey xyz and ran the command. After that I did ifconfig mtw0 inet autoconf. I tried to ping openbsd.org but it din't worked. Here are the outputs of dmesg, netstat -rn and ifconfig. Any help will be appreciated.

I don't see an "inet" line showing that you have an IP address assigned on this interface.

Do you have a DHCP server you are expecting to give you an address?  If so it hasn't.

Also make sure dhcpleased(8) is running.  It should be already, but it doesn't hurt to check.
