Hi, I recently moved from ubuntu to openbsd 4.7 since in this release they included support for atheros 5212 wireless chipsets. However, I am having problem getting my wireless connection working. My wireless router is netgear and it supports 3 ports. I have 2 machines running on other ports just fine. After installing openbsd4.7, I read "man afterboot" and went ahead with configuration described in man pages, i.e.,
#ifconfig ath0 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid <nwid> nwkey <nwkey> after the above wireless card indicator on the computer turned green. As suggested I also created /etc/hostname.ath0 file and added one line since my router is dhcp enabled # cat /etc/hostname.ath0 dhcp Also, "ifconfig ath0" shows status as active with the correct values for all other parameters. But dhclient ath0 simply times out with no DHCP offers coming back. I am also unable to ping any machine on www, other than what I gave in the ifconfig (192.168.1.3). "route show" and "nestat -an" show that 192.168.1.3 with flag UG, so I am assuming that is good?. Any ideas?. Thanks. -m _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
