Hi All, I recently switched from ubuntu to OpenBSD 4.7 and trying to get the internet connection working through my Netgear wireless router. The computer has an Atheros 5212 wireless lan card and openbsd 4.7 just started supporting it I believe.
Anyway, as part of CD based installation em0 (ethernet) and ath0 (wirelesss) network interfaces could not be initialized. Subsequently, completed the installation and after logon I read "man afterboot" as customary. Further, I performed the below set of steps ifconfig ath0 nwid <nwid> nwkey <nwkey> ifconfig ath0 up After the above two I did, I saw wireless indicator on the machine turn green (good), then I did dhclient ath0 I saw DHCPDISCOVER messages going out, but no OFFER of DHCP was received. I made sure dhclient.conf file exists (as directed by openbsd man page) and also in that file uncommented the "request" line. Additionally, I created /etc/hostname.ath0 file and added the line dhcp 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid <nwid> nwkey <nwkey> After the above, I did sh /etc/netstart but no avail. The DHCP client request timed out. Any ideas?. Thanks. -m
