I'm sure I'm making a silly mistake in the config somewhere, but I'm
working from these two pages:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpa_supplicant.confamp;sektion=5
and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html
Situation as follows: multiple WAPS running multiple SSIDs, on
multiple channels (1,6,11) but I'm only interested in one SSID. It's
WPA PSK.
The laptop is running 9.2-RELEASE and configured with the folllowing:
From /boot/loader.conf
if_iwn_load=YES
wlan_wep_load=YES
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
wlan_tkip_load=YES
From /etc/rc.conf (DHCP configuration doesn't work, either)
defaultrouter=192.168.15.1
wlans_iwn0=wlan0
ifconfig_wlan0=inet 192.168.15.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid wireless
From /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid=wireless
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=longrandompassword
}
When I boot the machine, and run 'ifconfig wlan0', I see status: no carrier.
If I do 'ifconfig wlan0 scan', I get results, seeing the WAPs near me,
etc., but I can't ping anything.
When I manually run
'wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf',
I get connection, and can ping from a different console session, but
once I ^c out of wpa_supplicant, I lose the network.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing on this?
Kurt
