Okay, I'll need a little help with this one here..
This is my first time using a wireless card under FreeBSD..
I've bought a new Asus WL-167G wireless card, but I can't get it work under FreeBSD 7.0. I've tested the card under WinXP machine and it works fine there - scans, connects, etc..
During boot time my Asus WL-167G card has been detected by FreeBSD and the
rum driver is loaded, so the card appears as
rum0
Here's what I've done so far, perhaps someone can show me where I'm doing something wrong..
Code:
# ifconfig rum0 list scan
-- getting information about available access points ---
# ifconfig rum0 ssid MYSSID
ifconfig rum0 shows that is connected to MYSSID, but there is
no carrier, also the channel is set to a different that the
ifconfig rum0 list scan shows so I tried
ifconfig rum0 ssid MYSSID channel 6:g, but it seems that FreeBSD always sets the channel to a different value, not 6 and the access point uses only channel 6.
Also the IP address is set by DHCP, so
dhclient rum0 always shows
no link........... giving up
Adding this to /etc/rc.conf have no result either:
Code:
ifconfig_rum0="DHCP ssid MYSSID"
How to configure that wireless card for my FreeBSD system, I'm missing something here, but what?
Thanks!
