Hi,
I'm using an atheros card with freeBSD 6.0. I'm having trouble making wep work.
(I'm not subscribed to freebsd-mobile, btw)
The /etc/start_if.ath0 file says
ifconfig ath0 ssid "name" wepmode on wepkey 0x12345....
and my /etc/rc.conf says
ifconfig_ath0="inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
I'm getting "no route to host" messages when I try to ping the router.
If I disable wep then everything works, but I'd rather know how to fix
this problem. This worked just as it is on freebsd 5.3.
I have wlan_wep loaded as shown here
squiggy# kldstat -v | egrep -e 'wlan|ath'
27 ath_hal
42 ath_rate
43 pci/if_ath
44 cardbus/if_ath
218 wlan_wep
219 wlan
I did not see anything on the support pages on freebsd.org to indicate
that there was no known problem.
Thanks,
