Network script stoped working

Question

My Network script (the one in /etc/rc.d/network stopped working but manually using the if/iw config tools works.
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/network start
:: Starting Network [BUSY]
> Could not associate wlan0 - try increasing WIRELESS_TIMEOUT and check network is WEP or has no security
SIOCADDRT: No such process
rc.conf
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid dd-wrt" # Unencrypted
INTERFACES=(!eth0 !eth1 wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
manually
$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid dd-wrt
$ sudo dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd: version 5.1.3 starting
dhcpcd: wlan0: broadcasting for a lease
dhcpcd: wlan0: offered 192.168.1.109 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd: wlan0: acknowledged 192.168.1.109 from 192.168.1.1
dhcpcd: wlan0: checking for 192.168.1.109
dhcpcd: wlan0: leased 192.168.1.109 for 86400 seconds
dhcpcd: forking to background

Answer 1

And what happens if you do increase the value of "WIRELESS_TIMEOUT" ?
You can add this variable to your rc.conf file (with something like "WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=4") or by editing /etc/rc.d/network.
EDIT: alternatively, you could put this value in the /etc/conf.d/wireless file, which might be "cleaner".
