Happy Monday!
I have successfully installed and configured a Siemens
SpeedStream Wireless PCI Adapter, Model SS1024, in a
desktop PC running FreeBSD 4.6 Release.
I didn't know how to get wep configured via
/etc/rc.conf, so I used a shell script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d. Since I'm a newbie at networking
and my approach seemed too easy, I am concerned that I
may have missed something. Would someone review the
script and tell me if I've forgotten anything
important?
Assumptions:
* Firewall configuration is adequate
* /etc/resolve.conf has been edited correctly
* This test PC will be upgraded to FreeBSD 4-Stable
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/wi0-dhcp.sh:
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wi0-dhcp.sh
# Configure wireless interface using DHCP
case $1 in
start)
ifconfig wi0 ssid "datawok" authmode "shared" nwkey
[replace with 0x and wep key]
dhclient wi0
echo ' wi0'
;;
stop)
kill `cat /var/run/dhclient.pid`
ifconfig wi0 remove
echo ' wi0 removed'
;;
status)
ifconfig wi0
;;
*)
echo 'usage: /usr/local/etc/wi0-dhcp.sh
[start|stop|status]'
;;
esac
# End of file
Thanks,
Andrew Gould
