Its not going well. output from ifconfig -a is: re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=389b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC> ether 00:1e:33:99:a1:a3 inet6 fe80::21e:33ff:fe99:a1a3%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:1e:33:99:a1:a3 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated pflog0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 33200 pfsync0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 1460 syncpeer: 224.0.0.240 maxupd: 128 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 lagg0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1e:33:99:a1:a3 inet6 fe80::21e:33ff:fe99:a1a3%lagg0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 inet 10.254.239.136 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.254.239.255 media: Ethernet autoselect status: active laggproto failover laggport: wlan0 flags=0<> laggport: re0 flags=5<MASTER,ACTIVE> wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:1e:33:99:a1:a3 inet6 fe80::21e:33ff:fe99:a1a3%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "" channel 12 (2467 Mhz 11g) regdomain 101 indoor ecm authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL bintval 0 lo1: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet 10.1.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 and my rc.conf is:(with some unrelated info omitted) background_dhclient="YES" # Enable the pcbsd startup / shutdown scripts pcbsdinit_enable="YES" # Denyhosts Startup denyhosts_enable="YES" # Enable the firewall pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf" pf_enable="YES" pf_flags="" # Enable ipfw and open it by default since we have PF firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" # Enable IPV6 support ipv6_enable="YES" # Auto-Enabled NICs from pc-sysinstall ifconfig_re0="up" ifconfig_ath0="`ifconfig re0 ether`" ifconfig_ath0="ether ${ifconfig_ath0##*ether }" wlans_ath0="wlan0" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport re0 laggport wlan0 DHCP" hostname="pcbsd-6415" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA" I have looked in the handbook and searched the net and tried what I found and still no go.
