Re: [Wireless] Can't connect to wlan
Mel,
Do the recent patches by Andrew make a difference?

As you can see in the aboved mentioned URL, wpi and wpa_supplicant don't play
nice. I had the same problem yesterday, setting wpi through ifconfig (WEP in
my case) and the card just works.
I also had the bluetooth message, but Fonz doesn't seem to have that.

My kernel is GENERIC with ULE scheduler rather then 4BSD. I want to
investigate more this week, with a debug kernel and/or wpi in debug mode.
Since RELENG_7 is probably thawed/frozen, is there patches from -current you
can backport to have tested?

[Wireless] Can't connect to wlan
Howdy, I've been trying to connect my laptop, running 7.0-RC3, to my wireless network but It Isn't Working. Wpa_supplicant can find the network ok and ifconfig shows the correct SSID, authentication mode, protocol, BSSID etc. However, it also says no carrier. So needless to say DHCP cries no link and fails. Any idea what the problem could be here? If you need more information, let me know and I'll cook up a more elaborate message, but I thought I'd keep it short at first, so as not to swamp the list with lots of output right away. Any help will be greatly appreciated because at the moment I'm stuck with Vista if I need the Internet and I don't like Windows... Alphons -- All right, that does it Bill [Donahue].

It may take a while to gather all the data, commands, output, dmesg greps etc. though. To be continued, Alphons Did you read the handbook about wireless support. The chapter is very well written. The first thing I would make sure is that you have proper drivers loaded into the kernel. Generic kernel doesn't contain drivers for wpa support. wpa supplicant file looks good. Other things to notice is that some Wi cards do not support WPA or/and WPA2:-( if I remember correctly. Make sure your WiFi router is in Wi mode. We had people trouble shooting WiFi network for hours just to realize that they use WEP. Do not use WPE unless you set up IPsec or OpenVPN. I would definitely set IPsec even with WAP or WAP2. You might want to turn off the PF until you configure thins. Other than that much more info is needed to trouble shoot Best, Predrag Best ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
