Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 8.1-Release with ath0 card. For some unknown reason
this laptop is not able to get IP address from my access point (DHCP) if
WPA encryption is enabled.
The tricky part is that it says it is associated but has IP of 0.0.0.0.
So it looks like encryption part is working and then other communication
fails.
Everything works fine if I switch the encryption off.
The same station works fine with other access points. Other operating
systems works fine on the same station with the same access point. And
the same access point works fine with other stations.
In short - it's only FreeBSD that is having problems in this setup.
Was talking with Adrian about that after remembering the famous
keycache issue. There are some fixes for that in HEAD, can I talk you
into trying HEAD?
Absolutely yes. As I said I am really keen to get it sorted. I have
spent quite a lot of money on two different wireless routers (in 6
months time, two different locations) that doesn't work wireless with my
FreeBSD laptop - bummer.
Is there some image file I can download and install or do I have to
compile the whole thing from sources?
Michael
