It should get an address via DHCP. (I did not see where this was indicated in ifconfig.) ifconfig shows that wi0 is: associated SSID="Donner Pass" (this is correct) wep is on, channel 1, and 128 bit key (all correct) Thanks, Scott -----Original Message----- From: sektie [mailto:sektie@codersluts.net] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 5:02 AM To: Scott Miller; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Newbie wirless install question > windows.

Heh, I'm wondering if you did the same thing I did. You set the WEP key, but did you turn WEP on? ;) Check your ifconfig. Are you getting an IP via DHCP, or is it statically assigned? Does it say that your NIC is associated in ifconfig? Gotta love FBSD ifconfig. Having wireless support in ifconfig saves quite a bit of time. Didn't realize how much I liked it until I was forced to set up linux on a laptop. :) Randi sektie@codersluts.net http://perlpimp.codersluts.net
