No wifi signal with usb antenna (rum driver)
Hi all. I have recently installed FreeBSD-7.1-RELEASE on my Compaq Evo laptop. It used to dualboot with windows xp and gentoo linux, but I decided to give FreeBSD a try instead, so now it dualboots with windows and FreeBSD. My biggest problem is connecting to the internet over the local wifi network. I am using a usb antenna, which uses the rum driver in FreeBSD. When using windows, the signal strength is low (I am located quite far from the access point), but works fine. I can connect to the network and get on the internet, no problem. Problem is when I start FreeBSD, I cannot get a signal, i.e. ifconfig always reports no carrier. I can connect to the network with FreeBSD if I move closer to the AP, but it is impractical for me to do so. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or know what could be causing it?
