How are you doing DNS? Is there a local named running or is /etc/resolv.conf pointing directly to the nameserver? Where is that nameserver? On the wired network? Can you ping the nameserver or anything else on the wired network when this happens? Is there any change in /etc/resolv.conf after reassociation? -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Wireless network
The laptop has a buildin wireless network, presenting itself during boot as: ugen0: on uhub2 For some reason it is registered as an USB item. it may be actually USB chip, just soldered on motherboard. but i can't help you with driver. I have not been able to find a driver for this, and I know that it can be tricky to get it up running. Have any of you guys had any luck with this type of wireless? ..or should I just stick to a new USB wireless adapter, known to be working in FreeBSD? -- Mvh/Brgds Harry FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT Compiled at Mon May 12 19:58:10 CEST 2008 i386 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Wireless Network Not Found
Did you check on the hardware compatibility list if the wi chipset is supported and with what driver? Did you check on the laptop compatibility list what was report on your laptop. If the device can work people probably left documentation how was done. It is very possible that particular WI device is not supported. In that case you can do 3 thing. 1. You can ndis windows driver and insert into the kernel so that you can use the device 2. You can get pccard which is supported and forget about that device 3. Check if it supported in 7.0 (which has better support for WI) and install that one. Take care Predrag Thomas D.

I setup my built in wireless card!!! Sorry for all this info about my laptop. My only little problem is freebsd operate my card only 5Mps. The card can go upto 11Mps. Where can I change this settings? Thank you for all the help, this forum is the best. Laszlo Greetings! You should check out the command wicontrol(8) if your WiFi card uses the wi(4) or ath(4) driver (I'm sure a similar tool exists for other wireless NIC drivers as well). In fact, here you go: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi Just type `wicontrol' into the box and hit "Submit". Mind you, though, that the fact that the card is operating at 5Mbps could be due to the conditions where the laptop is located. The poorer the signal, the lower the speed (something Windows elegantly neglects to tell you, you only know if the connection is Excellent, Good, Low, Very Low or No Signal).
