RE: Wireless woes: upgrade 5.4 to 6.0, wi0, etc...

2005-12-28 Thread Kiffin Gish
Actually, I just removed it from loader.conf rather than the kernel (and
having to rebuild everything all over again) and that works fine also.
Thanks for the tip.

 I think this is why you're getting the message:
 
 ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_wep module by hand for now
 
 Try removing it from your kernel config file and loading it 
 through loader.conf only.

Wireless woes: upgrade 5.4 to 6.0, wi0, etc...

2005-12-27 Thread Kiffin Gish
Since I upgraded from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.0, I cannot for the life of me get
the wi0-interface to work at all (real bummer).

During boot I get the following error message:

ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_wep module by hand for now

If afterwards I try to fiddle around with ifconfig wepmode on ..., I get the
following error message:

ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Operation not permitted

Googling around and searching through the NOTES, UPDATING etc. I have
discovered (low-level technical) bits and pieces but nothing I can really
bit into. Some stuff about wpa, wpa_supplicant.conf ad infinitum, but before
I start doing something major and messing up my system for good, I though I
would drop this questions amongst the experts.

Have there been any changes made to the wi0 which I should be aware of?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Yes I have. I also added it to the loader.conf file, the kernel 
configuration file, done a buildkernel etc. but no luck.


# /boot/loader.conf
wlan_wep_load=YES

# /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
device wlan_wep

But still no luck. What am I forgetting?
