Under my windows partition, I see lots of wireless networks around my apartment, but when I get on my FreeBSD partition and do an ifconfig ipw0 scan, nothing shows up. Here's how I've been trying to check it (as root): # ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -r Radio is ON # ifconfig ipw0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS RONJON 00:13:46:a9:6d:30 6 54M 60:0 100 EPS Ulia 00:0d:88:eb:c5:f6 9 54M 26:0 100 EPS baba 00:09:5b:fb:c2:a8 11 54M 19:0 100 EPS Rainear21 00:0f:66:4c:1e:8f 11 54M 15:0 100 EP ASHOK 00:04:e2:a6:92:c9 6 54M 15:0 100 EPS 2WIRE550 00:12:88:dd:2e:e9 6 54M 23:0 100 EPS Then I configure for RONJON with the following: #ifconfig ipw0 ipw0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::204:23ff:fe6b:37ad%ipw0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:04:23:6b:37:ad media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: no carrier ssid RONJON channel 6 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100 bintval 100 I used dhclient to set everything up beyond the encryption stuff. I have also tried disabling wep encryption on my wireless router to make sure wlan_wep is not the problem. Here's the outcome of pings: # ping www.google.com ping: cannot resolve www.google.com: Host name lookup failure # ping 66.102.7.99 PING 66.102.7.99 (66.102.7.99): 56 data bytes ^C --- 66.102.7.99 ping statistics --- 133 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss The last ping was waited on for about 5 minutes before I gave up. # ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes ^C --- 192.168.0.1 ping statistics --- 17 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss The last ping is for my router. I know it can communicate with the router as this is what I get via a dhclient: # dhclient ipw0 DHCPREQUEST on ipw0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.0.1 bound to 192.168.0.100 -- renewal in 302400 seconds. Any other type of traffic seems to wig out the connection. Anyone have any ideas on what's going on? I have been at this for quite some time, and I can't get it figured out. Any help on any other ways of debugging would be most appreciated. Thanks! Jon
