Wireless Networking
9.1-RELEASE-p4 on amd64. This is a laptop with an Atheros 9280 wireless chip in a domestic setting with a single router and a cable modem. I have never had to use wireless before, but am now in another room. I have followed the handbook, and it seems to be working well. One question though: 'ifconfig -a' shows *two* entries apparently relating to wireless: ath0 and wlan0. The wlan0 one shows the IP address (fixed, not DHCP), netmask, ssid and so forth, but the ath0 entry shows only: ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 0c:ee:e6:80:ed:52 nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated Is this how it should be? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi Walter, Wlan0 is a clone of your wireless network card. So all the IP setup is applied to Wlan0. You will find more information in the handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html and in rhe ifconfig man page. I hope this will help you.

Are either of these devices supported with Free-BSD, or the PC-BSD? Bill Kindler Asking google shows that there are informations about them on many linux forums. It depends on revision of these cards because f.ex. DWA130 has 5 revisions from A(no rev number) to E and they're using different chipsets inside. As an example information from net8192su.inf: %DWA-130C2.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1PID_3302 %DWA-130E1.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1PID_3300 %DWA-131A1.DeviceDesc% = RTL8192su.ndi, USB\VID_07D1PID_3303 I don't know this chipset and if it's supported by any driver. Looking for the Netgear it looks that it's Marvell 88W8361 and it's rather not supported by FreeBSD. Atleast man(8) mwl says that only 88W8363 is supported.

For starters, in re: above, didn't someone suggest libpciaccess as the source for scanpci? I can't tell if you are misunderstanding what S Roberts suggested, or I am misunderstanding what you are responding. I'm pretty sure there's some misunderstanding here, though. Thanks for your response, Kevin. I did try rebuilding libpciaccess, to no avail. I also searched elsewhere. I thought we had pciconf output that stated it was an Atheros chipset? In that case, it would be the Azurewave, right? I'd suspect it might be supported under ath(4), but you'd wanna read the manpage and possibly even the source for any kind of confirmation on that; the manpage does specifically say that adapters based on the AR5005VL aren't supported. However, the manpage might be slightly out-of-date, also. Yes, pciconf says Atheros. I guess that does rule out Intel, and I see from a little searching that at least some Azurewave devices use an Atheros chipset. I, too, am a little out of my depth in this region, as is probably obvious from my posts. The other thing I recall seeing is that a new variant of a supported chipset comes out, and the driver code doesn't recognize it even though it might work well. Used to be something like a VENDOR_ID string in the source files; I don't know if it's still the case, but if it was, some people have been able to hack their own device support in rare cases simply by adding the new info to the driver file and recompiling it, but you'd want someone with a lot more $OS_foo than I have to help out with that (or tell you if it's even possible). This is open-source stuff; you might even get sam@ 's attention and get help from the writer himself if you're wearing your lucky sneakers. Yes, I've seen that done with video drivers. Perhaps I'll give it a go with the ath or uath driver, neither of which work for me out of the box (so to speak).

Wireless networking question
A new notebook (ASUS K72F) has integrated wireles networking. The technical specifications are sadly lacking, so I don't know what chipset. The wired ethernet appears to use uath, but that's not working as a wlandev. Since most everything else is Intel, I figured it could be an Intel chipset, and since it supports 802.11n, I think its probably in the 6000 series. I tried all the Intel drivers that are listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_wireless_drivers#FreeBSD And none of them appeared to work. Looking a little further down, it seems that the Intel 6000 is supported by iwn on OpenBSD, but not on FreeBSD. But I could be barking up the entirely wrong tree. Can anyone shed some light here? Is there any way to query the hardware, short of opening the box (which will void the warranty)?

Wireless networking in ad-hoc mode?

I used some ascii2hex converter that I found online to turn the wep key 1n4te into 316E3474410D0B. From ifconfig(8) manual page (my emphasis): wepkey key|index:key Set the selected WEP key. If an index is not given, key 1 is set. A WEP key will be either 5 or 13 characters (40 or 104 bits) depending of the local network and the capabilities of the adaptor. It may be specified either as a plain string or as a string of hexadecimal digits preceded by `0x'. For maximum portability, hex keys are recommended; the mapping of text keys to WEP encryption is usually driver-specific. ** In particular, the Windows drivers do this mapping differently to FreeBSD. ** ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Wireless networking issue with cm9 card

Tried setting it to be an AP client and it sees nothing. The lights on the routerboard keep flashing rythmically for the cm9 while those on the 5354 are on constantly.

Wireless networking with DHCP tickets
Hello-- I'm trying to use a hotel wireless network effectively. I can connect perfectly, and surf/do email, and so forth. However, I have to re-authenticate to the server every 2 minutes (the length of DHCP lease handed out). According to Orange WiFi, this is because the DHCP server sends some kind of a keep-alive ticket to the client every 2 minutes, and if the client does not respond, the lease is revoked. This functionality seems to rely on some non-standard features of the Microsoft Windows 2K/XP dhcp client, or wireless networking driver, since the same problem occurs on Macs and Linux. My question is -- has anyone heard of this kind of setup before? The drill is, one purchases a scratch card from the hotel test with a username/password pair, that is valid for a certain amount of time (e.g. 14 hours). Has anyone succeeded in getting authentication to stick with FreeBSD in such a configuration?

Avaya Wireless Networking Problems
I am a Linux user trying Freebsd. I've installed 5.1 on two machines, one of shich is connected to a wireless network through a TI pci cardbus adapator and an Avaya Silver Wireless Network Card. The card is recognised, the configuration settings appear to be correct but ifconfig -a shows that there is no carrier. I suspect that the problem may be interrupt-related, so the next thing I will try is to check the interrupt settings in Linux and force the same in NetBSD (I don't know how to achieve this yet but imagine it will be in the documentation somewhere). What I would apprciate is some advice as to best method to troubleshoot this problem and correct it. I must add that I like what I see of FreeBSD so far. Installation was painless and I like the Ports system. I don't know if I will like it so much that I replace my Debian unstable, but time will tell.

Well, the appropriate output from dmesg would help. It's possible that it's an interrupt problem, but we haven't seen too many of them lately. If you're showing up as wi0 (presumably), then probably it's not an interrupt issue. Do you have the other settings set up correctly? ifconfig output and information about your wireless infrastructure would help.

Slightly OT (and more related to the wireless networking)
Hi everybody, Is there any way to get list of all SSIDs, which are present in given area, with the tools provided by FreeBSD.

wireless networking card/routing question
I am trying to set up an ad-hoc network with some Dell c600 Latitudes in a school lab. One of the machines (A) is plugged into the school's DHCP network via an average, everyday ethernet card. It has no problem accessing the internet, etc. However, system A also has a Cisco Aironet 350 plugged into a PCMCIA slot. The idea is for system A to act as a gateway, firewall, and router for the other three machines (B, C, and D). I have all of the machines running so that they can ping eachother over the wireless link. So my question has two parts. Part the First: Each time I reboot, I am finding myself having to redo the ifconfig on the network cards, and then also having to run ancontrol -n SSID and ancontrol -o 0 on the systems. I am not sure why I have to set up the ifconfig each time, since there are sysinstall generated deltas in rc.conf for the wireless card. I would like (obviousdly) to have these small but annoying tasks automated at startup. I tried putting a shell screipt in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with my other startup scripts to get these settings done for me, but it doesn't seem to catch them. Where should my script go, and what should it contain beyond two ancontrol commands and an ifconfig? Part the Second: None of my books seem very clear onb how to set up machine A as the gateway/router for machines B, C, and D, beyond turning on the router_enable=YES flag on machine A and setting machine A's wireless card as the gateway for machines B, C, and D. Can anyone offer enlightenment on what steps I need to take to get B, C, and D to talk to the outside world? Thanks in advance for any help :) Ian _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Re: Wireless Networking
just yesterday i bought a d-link wireless AP/router and a Dell 802.11b pccard NIC, which is apparently just a rebranded Lucent WaveLAN. i'm still fiddling with it to make it work correctly, but i can tell you this: a) make sure that device card device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd is in your kernel. it is in the base install. either put: device wi in your kernel config file, or if_wi_load=YES in your /boot/loader.conf make sure pccardd is started from /etc/rc.conf b) READ THE wicontrol(1) MANPAGE c) seriously, read it. it's all you need to know. d) put the commands you need into /etc/start_if.wi0. stuff like setting the IBSS stuff, the key, turning encryption on, etc. also, see: http://darkminds.net/wlan/freebsd/swsetup.php -Adam (09.17.2002 @ 1149 PST): MET said, in 0.3K: I'm getting my hands on a 802.11a wireless network card and a base station (both from Dell) and was wondering if it will work on my FreeBSD laptop (dell Latitude C840).

I'm not running a FreeBSD laptop but while I was running a Linux laptop I found that I can connect to my access point with no problem in Ad-Hoc mode, but not Infrastructure mode with WEP.
