The driver sadly, see http://www.freebsd.org/projects/ideas/#p-wi
Its possible someones working on it but not that i know of.

PRISM3(PCMCIA) and/or wi(4) driver unable to do WPA?

Hello,

I just acquired a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card 802.11b
wireless NIC.  When plugged into a 6.2 i386 laptop, dmesg reports:

When I attempted to connect to my WPA-PSK WAP, wpa_supplicant(8) just
hangs.  When I turned off encryption on the WAP, and enter:

# dhclient wi0

Then the NIC connects just fine.  So the question is, is it the NIC, the
wi(4) driver, or what?

PRISM3(PCMCIA) and/or wi(4) driver unable to do WPA?

2007-03-07 Thread Doug Poland
Hello,

I have just acquired a Linksys Instant Wireless Network PC Card
802.11b wireless NIC.  When plugged into a 6.2 i386 laptop, dmesg
reports:

wi0: The Linksys Group, Inc. Instant Wireless Network PC Card at
port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1
wi0: using RF:PRISM3(PCMCIA)
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.2)
wi0: Ethernet address: 00:06:25:18:6e:1d

When I attempted to connect to my WPA-PSK WAP, wpa_supplicant(8) just
hangs.  When I turned off encryption on the WAP, and enter:

# dhclient wi0

Then the NIC connects just fine.  So the question is, is the NIC or the
wi(4) driver incapable of WPA encryption?

Thanks for the help.

Try adding;

ifconfig_wi0=DHCP

to /etc/rc.conf.

That way it will run dhclient automatically whenever you plug the card in.

I don't have a problem running dhclient, I have a problem with WPA. 
Initially, my rc.conf said:

ifconfig_wi0=WPA DHCP

and I had the correct entry in my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.  I could
not connect to my WAP until I turned off WPA, as I stated in my OP.
