Connecting to wireless router
Hi,
I am having trouble connecting to my home's wireless router with my FreeBSD laptop. On the desktop that has the main-line internet connection, FreeBSD could easily connect. However, when I try to search for a DHCP server with the laptop, it seems like it doesn't find anything. The 'Network Configuration' page comes up with everything blank. So, I just copied all of the information from the configuration on the desktop, and that didn't work. I called Linksys and asked them if they could help, but they couldn't, since it is FreeBSD. I know that my wireless card is configured correctly. I ran ifconfig, and it is configured as bfe0, but the status is "No carrier." I am not able to ping the router. Does anyone know what might be going wrong? Thanks! |

What is the output of ifconfig?

As mentioned, bfe(4) is not a wireless interface.. with that said, it's probably an unused Ethernet port. Post the output of ifconfig so we can determine more about your current configuration... a dmesg would be nice too. Please contain the output inside [code][/code] blocks.. Yeah, that's not a viable way of support... unfortunately. Last edited by BSDfan666; 19th August 2008 at 03:38 AM. |

You are correct, Broadcom made both my ethernet and wireless card, so I got confused. Indeed, it hasn't found the driver for my wireless card Here is the result of >pciconf -vl Code:

i believe the driver for the bcm94309 is included in freebsd 8.0 as a beta...

That method is always hit and miss, definitely not a end all solution to drivers on FreeBSD.
If there is a driver in the works for 8-CURRENT, I can't find any reference to it.. your other option might be to find a PCMCIA wireless card. It's possible your laptop actually has a MiniPCI card inside, theoretically it might be possible to replace it.. but, it's not for the faint of heart. |
|

Heh, I'm updating to -CURRENT now that I hear that it might contain broadcom wireless drivers. I have a BCM4309 a/b/g MiniPCI card in my new laptop. I'll let you all know how I make out.
Unfortunately, my attempts at usin an ndis driver all ended in kernel panics. I tried three different versions of the windows driver :-( Adam |

Well I can't comment directly on the BCM94309, but my BCM4309 doesn't appear to be supported. At least, it's not detected by the GENERIC -CURRENT kernel.
Adam EDIT: If someone can point me to a reference somewhere that says that broadcom wireless cards should now work (or might work, or are being worked on) in -CURRENT, I'd appreciate it. I can at least send a report of my attempt. Last edited by adamk; 19th August 2008 at 11:15 PM. |

Run
# dmesg after loading the NDIS modules to see what (if any) errors are generated. That can usually lead to solutions.Also, try using different Windows drivers with ndisgen. Something XP drivers work better, sometimes 2003 drivers work better, etc. |

Found the right driver - kernel panic
OK. So, it seems like I was using the wrong driver .inf and .sys. I talked to a guy from Dell who gave me the actual driver. It also included a firmware file: bcm43xx.cat (I'm not 100% positive this is the only firmware file, but probably).
I can finally see ndis0 coming up! But, now I am getting a kernel panic... (my first ) Is it possible that I still did the ndisgen incorrectly? Or is it likely that there's no way to use this card/driver? Code:

Yeah, that was the exact problem I was having. I finally decided to bite the bullet. After locating the mini-PCI card under the keyboard, I went on-line and ordered an Intel wireless mini-PCI card . I attempted to find an Atheros based one, but they seem to be harder to find.

It doesn't seem like any of the others FreeBSD 8 kernel configurations in sys/i386/conf show support for our card... I guess I will just buy that Intel PRO/Wireless 2915abg... |

That is royal pain
// Michael Lucas (c) "Absolute FreeBSD"... I have had this problem on almost all laptops in my possession. Currently I am using ubuntu on my work laptop and on all of my servers. I have stopped to struggle to set up all of these things on a laptop because it takes SO MUCH of time and grief! By the way, I found the macbooks the only BSD-like laptops (most of my favorite shell commands and settings works out of the box!) This was the lyrics. Yes, you need to change the wireless card if you want to get it working. I have found on the net that Intel 2xxx cards are well supported opposed to 3945abg. I did find the drivers for 3945abg, but it didn't work for me. For completeness, my only experience with ndis didn't succeed. Although, it was one year ago playing with FreeBSD 6.2... Atheros? yes!!! I had good experience working with one such card. It claimed to be made by Cisco, but FreeBSD told me that it is in fact an Atheros chip! It is worth to find such cards... |
