The exact same setup (rc.conf, loader.conf, wpa_suplicant.conf) works
fine under FreeBSD 8.1 RC2 i386
Hmm, the rc scripts are identical between i386 and amd64, and many people are
able to use wlan's with amd64. Can you provide more details and ensure you
don't have any typos?
Thank you for your reply.
No typos, the files were copied from a working i386 to amd64 via flash
drive. When retesting tonight with 8.1_release (new iso downloaded)
there was no problem.
It is safe to assume that I had a corrupted copy of RC2 which was not
downloaded as an iso, rather upgraded from 8.0 via cvsup. Perhaps I
received mismatched versions of some files. Unfortunately I no longer
have the exact same code set to test.
Below are the config files requested
-
# /boot/loader.conf
#Nothing relevant...
# /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_ath0="up"
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
# /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="nw-ds"
bssid=00:02:6f:3a:d5:10
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_tx_keyidx=0
wep_key0=xx
}
