since my current wireless access point (an apple airport that belongs to one of my roomates) will be leaving at the beginning of the summer, i recently went out and picked up a linksys wireless access point and cable/dsl router combo. (model BEFW11S4) from what i can tell, its a standard NAT box/router type thing, with a wireless bridge. the NAT portion works fine with all my computers, but i'm having some trouble with the wireless. if i try to connect with my FreeBSD laptop with a Lucent Wavelan card, it makes some kind of contact (since it figures out the name of the wireless node, verified with wicontrol), but never gets an ip address from the DHCP server. manually setting an ip address doesn't help, as the network is completely unreachable. with the same wavelan card, in a windows laptop, the wireless works perfectly, right out of the box. so far, i've upgraded the firmware in the card, cvsuped to the latest -STABLE, and messed with every setting in wicontrol i can think of. does anyone have any idea what i need to tweak (either on the freebsd side or on the access point) to make this work? -- garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
