-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, whe I posted this problem to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc it was suggested to me I should report it to this e-mail addres. I can't yet use send-pr, which was suggtested too, as my FreeBSD installation is not finished yet. This is the "oddity" I noticed: During installation of FreeBSD 5.0RC1 at some point I was asked if I wanted to configure a network interface, and was proposed to use "wi0" which is the wireless lan card. I choose that and was then asked if I want to use DHCP which I agreed to. Problem: After that question the install programm immediatly tries to contact the DHCP server, which cannot work, as informations like the WEP key to use etc. were asked for/supplied so that the wireless card could be properly set up to communicate. I hope this information can help you, and apologize for not having been able to submit a proper report using send-pr. claudio - -- Claudio Nieder, Kanalweg 1, CH-8610 Uster, Tel +41 79 357 6743 yahoo messenger: claudionieder aim: claudionieder icq:42315212 mailto:private@claudio.ch http://www.claudio.ch -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9/OTNKS3qZW4vY9IRAhd+AJ0WwMlWT0ECFpU17nloRStOuhQ0OQCePPpi ENdOkVKH0JytJashpFqYKHE= =d+M8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
