Hi!
I'm running 5.1 on a laptop. [sephtin@draxa ~]$ uname -a
FreeBSD draxa.techgodz.com 5.1-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p5 #1: Mon
Oct 6 10:35:12 CDT 2003
root@draxa.techgodz.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/draxa i386
I have 2 problems:
1) When booting, with a PC-Card (wi0) in, no matter what defaultrouter=
is set to in /etc/start_if.wi0 it always uses what's in /etc rc.conf. I
don't understand! /etc/start_if.${interface} is sourced in both
/etc/network.subr, as well as /etc/pccard_ether.
It is DEFINITELY getting my card's ifconfig_wi0 info from start_if.wi0
(as that is the only place I have the ssid, wepmode and wepkey set, and
it finds them correctly...).
Shouldn't I be able to override the defaultrouter= in rc.conf with
what's in /etc/start_if.wi0???
Just thought to add: the default route that I'm trying to add IS on the
same subnet as the IP of the nic... so it isn't failing because of that...
2) On my laptop, I have 2 pccards. One is the dlink wireless (wi0)
mentioned above, the other is a linksys 10/100. I NEVER have them in at
the same time.
When I boot with the wireless card in (after setting the default route
by hand... (see problem #1), I remove the card. I get notification that
the card has been removed (wi0: detached). I then re-insert the card,
and get a
notification that the card was inserted(wi0: <card info from
pccard.conf>..., followed by it's mac, chipset, and supported rates.
When I do an ifconfig, it does NOT contain my info for the card (IP,
netmask, ssid, wepmode, nor wepkey). Shouldn't it get this info from
/etc/start_if.wi0???
I would think it should get both the ifconfig_wi0 parameters, as well as
the default router.
It is also strange to note, that even if I have defaultrouter= set in
rc.conf, it doesn't access it from there... ?
Google has so far told me how I'm supposed to set up defaultrouter= in
my rc.conf, but doesn't go into what in the startup scripts is failing.
Can anyone shed some light, or at least point me in the right direction??
Thanks!
John
