Re: rsu problem
Hi Brad! Happy New year and all the best! Issue ifconfig scan 3-4 times and it'll happen. I am not using ifconfig scan although I consider that pretty important to work reliably. It's the net80211 stack that issues a scan under some conditions. Once the driver is no longer able to issue this firmware command because it fails it will no longer reconnect. I don't remember if issuing down / up was enough or if I had to disconnect and reconnect the adapter. The good in console is that you see error message and know you have to do something. I /etc/netstart rsu0. In graphics it is no longer possible. My bet is that my laptop was too hot in the time I was posting. Also, other people do complain about issue. I made ifconfig rsu0 debug and got a lot of data. I have seen it regurarly connecting to the router and having handshake. After that it was not able to get rid of those messages. I had to reboot the node. I think I/we have two possibilities. First is to ask Mr Bergamini or someone else to redo the code for rsu. Second one is to buy another dongle. Taking this seriously, what good usb dongle would be at the moment? The one that works with 5.2 and might be found on the current market. Best regards all Zoran

rsu works (was: rsu problem)
If one installs firmware and gets output with: ifconfig rsu0 scan he/she is on the road to succeed. Since openbsd is not my primary OS, I had some strange surprises. Finally, it all went fine. Definitelly, rsu does not like hidden ssid. Next, confi- guration file has to be set in this manner: less /etc/hostname.rsu0 inet 192.168.1.101 #put your static IP nwid ssid wpakey pass Notice two lines. First one sets ip, which should work fine in any occasion. Second line connects to the router. Be aware that you need /etc/mygate and /etc/resolv.conf populated correctly. I see line disconnected every 10 minutes or so. I assume that one line has to be added to cron, for i.e. 3-5 mi- nutes. Beyond that, laptop seems to be hotter, spite -C flag to apmd.

I would have done it the other way around (first get a link with nwid whatever , then assign IP addess with dhcp and/or rtsol), but if it works for you, fine. Be aware that you need /etc/mygate and /etc/resolv.conf populated correctly. In most setups these would be handled via dhcp, but in a no dhcp, all fixed IPv4 case you're probably right. I see line disconnected every 10 minutes or so. I don't have any experience with rsu specifically, but in general wifi connections tend to drop occasionally, and in a majority of the cases they will recover semi-gracefully by themselves (as in, ssh sessions may very well survive, others more hit and miss). It's possible 'ifconfig rsu0 debug' will produce output that will be useful in diagnosing what happens at the time of those drops. -- Peter N. M.

Re: rsu problem
I was sure having wireless dongle up and working is just an easy job. Seems I was wrong. This morning I connected ethernet cable to laptop, configured hostname.rl0 and it was airborne. I did similar for dongle rsu0 and failed. To remind rsu0 at uhub0 port 2 Manufacturer Realtek 11n Adapter rev 2.00/2.00 addr 2 rsu0: MAC/BB RTL8712 cut 3, address 1c:7e:e5:1f:a1:f3 Regarding data, it is d-link dwa-131 with rtl8191su chip. I checked out router configuration and found no connection from the dongle. Router is dd-wrt, wpa2-aes, mac filtered. I set ssid as hidden. Dongle blinks and the system gives a message: rsu0: could not send site survey command Further I tried another step. I did fw_update. It shows no message and the result is the same. I assume something is wrong either in configuration or in hardware. Maybe this chip does not support wpa2-aes. I'd be glad to hear what newer dongles people use suc- cessfully with hidden ssid and wpa2? Investing might prove better. Best regards Zoran
Re: rsu problem
I suggest you stop using a hidden ssid and mac filtering. Those are not bringing any advantage anyway. Also, give ''ifconfig rsu0 debug'' a try. As you may have noticed, status: active in ifconfig's output will tell you whether you are connected or not. -- Jérémie Courrèges-Anglas GPG Key fingerprint: 61DB D9A0 00A4 67CF 2A90 8961 6191 8FBF 06A1 1494
rsu problem
HP nx9020, 5.2, i386. Put d-link dwa-131 usb wifi dongle and it shows up as rsu0. The content of hostname.rsu0 does not matter, since I never got to wireless router. I.e. inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE nwid ssid wpakey password The message after ifconfig is like this: rsu0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lladdr mac_address priority: 4 groups: wlan egress media: IEEE802.11 autoselect status: no network ieee80211: nwid ssid wpakey password wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::1e7e:e5ff:fe1f:a1f3%rsu0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 Firmware installed from openbsd site. Whatever I do, remove pf, or else, I cannot connect to the router. Manual ifconfig was the same, no network. After some hdd problems, I reinstalled and now I get another problem: boot hangs at: preserving editor files After a minute or so, it finishes the boot with this line: starting network daemons; sendmail inetd sndiod. There is a chance that it is fine, but next things in a raw waits. I remove usb dongle and it boots further. I am able to scan, so dongle works. If dmesg needed, I'd provide it, but nothing useful sits there. Best regards Zoran
