RE: 1. wifi connection to resortwifi (Stephen Montgomery-Smith) Try to do a Sysinstall as root in a console or xterm and reconfigure your netconfiguration in this case your nic ndis or something like this, it's what is named a postconfigure, other hint maybe I should not say it try Ubuntu Live CD a.k.a. Dapper or Freesbie 2.0 in the last option probably you need to do the postconfigure too :) Ximo On 6/10/07, freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org < freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org> wrote: > > Send freebsd-mobile mailing list submissions to > freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > freebsd-mobile-request@freebsd.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > freebsd-mobile-owner@freebsd.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of freebsd-mobile digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. wifi connection to resortwifi (Stephen Montgomery-Smith) > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2007 21:49:18 -0500 (CDT) > From: Stephen Montgomery-Smith <stephen@math.missouri.edu> > Subject: wifi connection to resortwifi > To: mobile@freebsd.org > Message-ID: <20070609214258.N88191@math.missouri.edu> > Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed > > > I'm trying to connect to "Resort Wifi" whilst staying in my hotel.
