Has anyone been able to configure a Linksys E3000 using freebsd or pcbsd?
In a trade with a friend, I ended up with a Linksys E3000. The only windows machine that I have is my wife's 10 laptop that doesn't have a dvd. I use FreeBSD or pcBSD for everything, workstations, servers, etc. I need to configure this thing but can't find any instructions on web based configuration. The FAQ and the dvd all imply that you must run the windows installation programs. I doubt that is true. I've used other Linksys products, printservers, AP's, etc. with no problem. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ed PS I've thought about wine but the machines I have here are all AMD64. In addition, I'm going to have to reconfigure it at some point. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You can do a reasonable job of configuring an E3000 without using the Windows installer-- manually set up the laptop at IP 192.168.1.2 using a direct ethernet cable, and the router ought to be at http://192.168.1.1. Note that most of these Linksys E models, especially the ones with the L prefix are updated variants of the classic WRT54G(L), and you might consider running DD-WRT instead of the stock Cisco/Linksys firmware.

But I returned it to Best Buy as it didn't have as good a range as the older one I was replacing. I didn't need to use the DVD at all to configure it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
