Hello,
I'm trying to configure my Acer Aspire 5024wmli wireless card (pciconf
-lv told me device: BCM43XX Broadcom 802.11b/g) but without any success.
I use ndis with windows drivers and it is correctly loaded:
kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
1 24 0xc040 906518 kernel
22 0xc0d07000 e750 if_ndis.ko
33 0xc0d16000 1aa10ndis.ko
51 0xc0d94000 1bdc wlan_xauth.ko
61 0xc0d96000 2ec0 wlan_acl.ko
71 0xc0d99000 6a32cacpi.ko
81 0xc44f4000 22000linux.ko
91 0xc4699000 62000bcmwl5_sys.ko
101 0xc47c9000 21000radeon.ko
111 0xc47ea000 f000 drm.ko
and I have a ndis0 interface but when I use this command line: ifconfig
ndis0 up scan it returns me anything!
Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid=wireless
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=XXX
}
and my /etc/rc.conf:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Created: Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
hostname=herlock-bsd
keymap=be.iso
linux_enable=YES
nfs_server_enable=YES
rpcbind_enable=YES
sshd_enable=YES
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 17:07:34 2008
#ifconfig_re0=DHCP
hostname=herlock-bsd
ifconfig_ndis0=WPA DHCP
gnome_enabled=YES
And it doesn't work...
Can anyone tells me how is it possible to make this card works on
freebsd ?
Thank you.
Gaëtan.
Make sure the radio is actually turned on for the device. I've had ndis
bite me in the ass before on laptops with Fn-key radio switches; when I
put FreeBSD on, the radio was disabled and the Fn-key apparently
required OS support to work. I beat my head against the wall trying to
get it to associate with an AP to no avail. I've never been sure if
there is a way on these systems to turn the radio on in FreeBSD, I've
always thrown Windows on a spare partition and used it to turn the radio
on. Maybe someone else can be more enlightening on this subject.
