Re: wlan setup
I have tried what the handbook says and a custom entry to devd.conf as one forum showed. wlan0 associates with the access point but does not get an IP. Drivers are loaded. No error messages in /var/log for wpa_supplicant. I have even tried using background_dhclient in rc.conf. This is an issue with freebsd not my access point. Windows, ubuntu and my cellphone have no problems obtaining an IP. I have no idea what is happening. It looks straight forward from the handbook. Unless this is a bug. I guess I'll have to ditch freebsd for awhile.

It works fine with Windows and Ubuntu. Just doesn't work with FreeBSD. I even tried PCBSD with its gui networking tool. It links but does not get an IP. I haven't been to the machine again to check logs messages to see wpa_supplicant errors.

Drivers are loaded and I tried using SYNCDHCP instead of just DHCP in
rc.conf.
I even tried my own entry in devd.conf as shown in a google search.
But still it links to the access point but does not get an IP.

Re: wlan setup
Did you load the drivers about wlancard? Make kernel yourself or edited
/boot/loader.conf to load drivers.

wlan setup
I followed the handbook and searched online but yet still unable to get
a wireless connection to an access point.
I have in my rc.conf file:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
and in the wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid="myssid"
psk="mypassword"
}
It associates but does not get an ip.
I works fine with Windows or with Ubuntu.
Any help is appreciated.
