Hello I had been trying to set up a wireless connection for my laptop but n=
othing seems to work
What I am using: FreeBSD 6.2 release p3
Architecture amd 64
hardware: HP pavilion zv6000

so far what I had done:

1. Use the ndisgen to make kernel modules from wireless broadcom windows dr=
ivers.
2. verify that the drivers actualy work with the kernel by checking dmesg

here is my dmesg:

too many stray irq 7's: not logging anymore

so ndis0 is recognized by the kernel

3. I had been following the manual to try to get the wireless to work
   3.1 Modify /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf added the ssid of the network and th=
e password for WPA-PSK
   3.2 Modify /etc/rc.conf  Added ifconfig_ndis0=3D"WPA DHCP"

when the computer boots it try to connects but never gets a package back fr=
om the router
I try do it manually from root but same history. Example, from root:

PAVILLION# ifconfig ndis0
ndis0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
        ether 00:90:4b:f3:6e:44
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid LFnet channel 6 bssid 00:13:46:cd:8e:9a
        authmode WPA privacy OFF txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS

so it seems like the laptop and the router are conected since the statuss a=
pears as associated. When checking the router side it shows that there is a=
 wireless conection which agrees with the mac of the laptop. But there is n=
o actual transfer of information between them

any clues?? I am missing something here?

Thanks
