Hi All,
I am having issues with the ipw-firmware working correctly. 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<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> 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
