If you then manually run
dhclient wlan0
once its booted and associated do you get a DHCP address?

ath0 + wlan0 + spa + Apple Airport Extreme => No Joy

2011-12-11 Thread Christopher Hilton
Good day,

I'm trying to get FreeBSD going on a soekris box with an atheros based D-Link 
PCI wifi card. I intend to use this combination to bridge a difficult network 
back to ethernet but right now I'm just trying to get the soekris associated to 
the network. The network is managed by an Apple Airport Extreme. Note that this 
combination connects just fine to my MiFi 4082. I only have a problem 
connecting to the Airport.

The soekris box is running FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE built from source about 
11/15/2011. 

I have this in my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

network={
ssid="Vindaloo"
psk=""
}

network={
ssid="Vindaloo-Mobile"
psk="**"
}

If I read the wireless setup document right I need this in my /etc/rc.conf:

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="ssid Vindaloo WPA DHCP"

This box appears to associate with the network just fine but then it doesn't 
receive anything except broadcast traffic.
