Wireless seems to be working, but the most important thing (IP address) isn't. I should say that I am now associated with an 11g client (both sides agree with this assessment), but I can't get DHCP to hand out a pool IP address:
According to the "Status -> Interfaces" page: OPT2 interface (ath0) Status associated DHCP up MAC address 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IP address 0.0.0.0 Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 Media autoselect mode 11g <hostap> Channel 1 SSID xxxxx And pfSense claims the DHCP server is running. Yet according to "Status -> DHCP leases" there are none: Diagnostics: DHCP leases IP address MAC address Hostname Start End Online Lease Type I am running pfSense 1.2.1 on a Soekris 4801 with a Wistron CM9 mini-PCI card: ath_hal: 0.9.20.3 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xa0010000-0xa001ffff irq 11 at device 14.0 on pci0 ath0: [ITHREAD] ath0: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ath0: Ethernet address: 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 I see many of these lines in the pfSense logs and in dmesg output via ssh(8): ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 6 (2437 Mhz, flags 0x490 hal flags 0x150) ath0: unable to reset hardware; hal status 12 I used this URL as a guide: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Access_Point2 I don't have a DHCP server on my local LAN, instead I configured the built-in pfSense DHCP server with three IP addresses to give out. It is not happening. :-( BTW, I have bridged the OPT2 (ath0) interface with the Soekris LAN interface. Any ideas or thoughts on what I am doing wrong would be most appreciated.
