I recently purchased a HP Pavilion dv8135nr laptop and install
FreeBSD/amd64 6.1-BETA4. I then updated the system to 03/25/06 using
the cvs sources.
After searching the internet I was able to locate a 64bit windows
driver for my wireless card:
none1@pci6:2:0:=09class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x1355103c chip=3D0x431814e4 rev=
=3D0x02 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation'
class =3D network
Windows/amd64 - 64bit driver (3.100.64.0) - 80211g.zip:
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_3020_5020/driver/winxp64bit=
/
Which I then used to create the kernel module for my Broadcom wireless
card with ndisgen.
ndisgen bcmwl5.inf bcmwl564.sys
Which resulted in ndisgen building the bcmwl564_sys.ko module. When I
load the module, I receive a screen full of 'fpudna in kernel mode!'
which I tracked down to having occurred in the sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c
source.
Is there a better Windows XP driver I should be using?
I then added an ifconfig entry for the interface to /etc/rc.conf:
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_ndis0=3D"WPA DHCP"
and rebooted the system. But when I grep for wpa_supplicant in the ps
listing, it is not found. Then when I try to start wpa_supplicant
(0.4.8), if gives an error when '-D ndis' is specified:
# wpa_supplicant -B -q -i ndis0 -D ndis -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -P
/var/run/wpa_supplicant/ndis0.pid
NDIS: Failed to get adapter list (PacketGetAdapterNames)
Failed to initialize driver interface
But if I don't specify '-D ndis', then wpa_supplicant runs as a
daemon. And displays:
ndis0: WPA setup failed
Now when I connect to wpa_supplicant with wpa_cli, I receive repeated
messages of:
<2>Trying to associate with 00:0b:0e:18:59:02 (SSID=3D'campuswpa' freq=3D24=
37 MHz)
<2>Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
'PING' command timed out.
Connection to wpa_supplicant lost -trying to reconnect
Connection to wpa_supplicant re-established
I can use scan and scan_result, and it shows the Wireless Access
Points and their SSIDs.
When I connect to this network thru Windows XP, the setup is as follows:
Network Authentication: WPA
Data encryption: TKIP
EAP Type: Protected EAP (PEAP)
Authentication Method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHAP v2)
Fast Reconnect: Enabled
Validate server certificate: Unchecked
Using the above information, I created the following wpa_supplicant.conf fi=
le:
ctrl_interface=3D/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_intreface_group=3Dwheel
network=3D{
ssid=3D"campuswpa"
key_mgmt=3DWPA-EAP
pairwise=3DTKIP
group=3DTKIP
eap=3DPEAP
identity=3D"<username>"
password=3D"<password>"
# phase1=3D"peaplabel=3D1" <-tried with/without
phase2=3D"auth=3DMSCHAPV2"
priority=3D1
}
Is this configuration correct?
There is also another network, which doesn't use WPA. And when the
system boots, it attaches to this network (campus) and receives an IP
address. On this network, they use a web page to verify that you can
have access to the network. Haven't tried it, as I don't have a
browser installed on the system.
