Hello!
I need to connect my laptop to the wireless NIC on my FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE ga=
teway.
It's ral0, and I've set it to ad-hoc mode. My laptop, running Windows XP, c=
an see
the network "bsd" but not ping it / connect to it.
I used some ascii2hex converter that I found online to turn the wep key "1n=
4te"
into "316E3474410D0B".
# ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 media autoselect mod=
e 11b mediaopt adhoc ssid bsd wepmode on wepkey 316E3474410D0B
# dmesg | grep ral0
ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2500> mem 0xfeafc000-0xfeafdfff irq 22 at device=
1.0 on pci2
# ifconfig ral0 -m
ral0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::214:85ff:fe1b:cbdf%ral0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:14:85:1b:cb:df
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
status: no carrier
ssid bsd channel 11
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS
bintval 100
I appreciate this guys!
Thanks!
