I've discovered the wonderful world of wireless Internet access on my FreeBSD laptop (an IBM Thinkpad 380XD running 4.8-STABLE), but I have a problem. Configuring the interface to do both DHCP and initialize with all the WEP parameters seems to be mutually exclusive.
I've worked around it by putting in a dummy static IP and netmask and then running dhclient wi0 manually, but I'd prefer to automate things somewhat so that when wi0 comes up (I put the PC Card in) it initializes with the WEP stuff AND does DHCP. So, currently, my configuration line looks like: ifconfig_wi0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid some-ssid wepmode on wepkey some-128-bit-key" And it works fine, provided I run dhclient manually. But I can't just replace the dummies with DHCP (been there, it doesn't work). How should I do this? jmc _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
