Wireless pc card on FreeBSD 6.0
I have my wireless card associating with my access point using the following command from the doc at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=athsektion=4manpath=FreeBSD +5.3-RELEASE # ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xff00 ssid WEBTENT # ifconfig ath0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe1f:9655%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ether 00:80:c8:1f:96:55 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid WEBTENT channel 6 bssid 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 32 protmode CTS bintval 100 But cannot browse the network at all. I also have a wired connection to the network on the laptop and cannot ping the address assigned to the wireless card unless the wired connection is connected, why would this be? Also, of course, as you can see above, I need to get WEP going, but not sure how to specify the WEP key in ASCII or determine the HEX needed from the ASCII key, can someone suggest how this is done? And I'd like to get it to use DHCP, how would I do this? -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try to search in google on how to do that, or wait for others to help you. I'm now trying to make my WEP-PSK working - and can only offer you to read message Vol. 113 issue 11 from this list (Wednesday of November) - mesg. 31: FreeBSD 6, hostap, ral0 (Christer Solskogen) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
wireless pc card
I am trying FreeBSD 6.0 on my laptop since reading of wireless capabilities. I have a D-Link DWL-AG650 card and see the card below in my /etc/defaults/pccard.conf: # D Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card card D Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card config auto wi ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop It is missing the AG, but so close I was hoping to get it going. I have pccard_enable=YES in my rc.conf and see the following in dmesg whenever I plug in the card: cardbus1: network, ethernet at device 0.0 (no driver attached) I guess this means this card will not work? If so, anyone suggest a way to get it working? I ask this because I found the following post that sounds like someone did have theirs working, but I do not see an ath0: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=265162+0 +archive/2004/freebsd-mobile/20040118.freebsd-mobile -- Robert ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
USR 22Mbps Wireless PC Card?
Has anyone had any luck getting the above card to work? I have one of these in a linux laptop and I think I'm ready to give up. The model is a USR2210 and I think it uses a T1 chipset?
