Newbie - need help configuring wireless connection...
Hi,
I am really embarrassed to have to ask help on this one but I just can't seem to figure it out. I am simply trying to connect my OpenBSD 5.1 box to a WAP. I have tried 3 different network devices: 1. PCMCIA Linksys WPC4G ver 3.1 2. Alfa AWUS036NH 3. Alfa AWUS036H (urtw0) OpenBSD 5.1 seems to recognize all three of these cards right out of the box. I successfully use the following command with all three: ---------------------------- $ sudo ifconfig nwdevice scan ----------------------------- After reading the ifconfig man page, I have tried using the following command to access my WAP: $ sudo ifconfig urtw0 nwid Jupiter chan 7 bssid 00:0f:66:00:7c:29 wpakey XXX The result: ------------------------ ifconfig urtw0 urtw0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST, RUNNING, ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:c0:ca:50:79:21 priority: 4 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11g) status: active ieee80211: nwid Jupiter chan 7 bssid 00.0f:66:00:7c:29 100dB wpakey (not displayed) wpaprotos wpa1.wpa2. wpaakms psk wpaciphers tkep, ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip 100dBm inet6 fe80::2c0:caff:fe50:7921%urtw0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 ------------------------ The AWUS036H(urtw0) seems to be the most promising of the the three. Unfortunately, I am not supplied with an IP and I do not seem to have an actual connection. Pinging google yields nothing. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you, Bob |
