Does anyone know of a diagram showing the typical transactions that occur for a macbook (any recent OSX 10.x version) to connect wirelessely and be ready for network activity? All the steps like find SSID, respond, present WPA credentials, get DHCP addr, DNS, etc? Any diagram to understand what all the typical expected transactions/handshakes/acknowledges are?
I'm trying to understand why a macbook connecting to a WiFi network (normal DHCP) , with no external internet connection) might start to connect then just drop off before allowing access to other things on that closed network. (however, the same Macbook can connect to that network wired and be perfectly OK).
Thanks for any pointers!
