Wireless Network Config working -- almost
Hello,
I set up my wireless for my laptop. And it works -- almost. I can connect and all, but the problem I'm having is that one of the configuration seems to be causing a boot up error. When i boot up in that network, and it goes to initialize the interfaces, I get a fatal firmware error. I can then restart the network after I log in and it works just fine. I'm running NetBSD 4.0.1 with kernel 5.99.01. The wireless card is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. I'm using the wpi0 driver and wpa_supplicant version 0.4.9. Here is the rc.conf section: Code:
dhclient=YES wpa_supplicant=YES wpa_supplicant_flags="-B -i wpi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" critical_filesystems_local="/var /usr" Here is the section for the secure network that is giving me issues: Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="blank for security" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP pairwise=TKIP group=TKIP ca_cert="/etc/cert/certificate.cer" client_cert="/etc/cert/certificate.cer" private_cert="/etc/cert/certificate.cer" identity="blank for security" password="blank for security" } I am able to log into the network, it's just that since it gives me that fatal firmware error on boot up, I have to restart the network and the dhclient manually - it doesn't give me such errors when I'm in my home network.

Also, is there a built-in command to learn what the signal strength is?

It is updated now and then - depends on net80211 implementation and driver itself. |

It's in the man page -- and then it seems like it is trying to do something when entered -- and then it hangs and eventually gives me an error (IOSCIOADDR? if my memory serves and something like a configuration error - I'll try to post the exact error later).

Any ideas on why the network would give the firmware error on initial bootup?
