DHCP no link, cannot connect
Hi, I am having a difficult time getting my laptop to aquire a dhcp lease. During the initial install, I selected dhcp and it said no link so I skipped it thinking i'll come back later. Here is what I did so far:
1. Read openbsd FAQ chapter 6 and most of it was difficult to understand. 2. ifconfig to find my adapter which was re0 3. Create a hostname file in /etc called hostname.re0 4. I put in the line: dhcp nwid network_name wpakey password, and saved the file 5 ran the command sudo sh /etc/netstart re0 6. reboot 7. I received this error message: Inappropriate ioctl for device 8. re0: no link.....................sleeping 9. I then ran this cmd: ifconfig re0 nwid netowrk_name wpakey passphrase 10. same exact errors as 7 & 8 Here is my laptop specs: Toshiba Satellite A665, Intel I5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, 802.11 a/b/g/n 10/100 OpenBSD 5.4 AMD64iso installation I suspect that I could be having a hardware compatability issue because my volume, mute, network connection, and DVD play button/leds don't work at all. I checked the laptops sticky, and I could not find any help in those links. I did a google search to see if anyone else had a simmilar problem but no real help. I am actually surprised how little info I have found on google regarding user support. Any tips or noticable mistakes in what I did? this is the ifconfig info for the adapter re0: flags=8049<up, BROADCAST, RUNNING, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladr ... priority: 0 media: ethernet autoselect (none) Last edited by Roydd85; 14th March 2014 at 11:31 AM. |
