Greetings,
I have a D-Link DWL-G520 PCI card that I am trying to install, with
less success than I would like.
I am using FreeBSD 5.2-RC2. I have been able to bring the card up
manually with ifconfig for an Atheros chipset ("ifconfig ath0 inet
192.168.39.100 netmask 255.255.255.0") and doing so, I can see the
.html setup screens for my router (D-Link Di-624 (192.168.39.1))--so
there is a connection. However, there I am stopped. I cannot get
past the wireless router to my other machines (hooked into a Linksys
Cable/DSL router (192.168.38.1)) or the Internet in general. No
http, no pings, nada.
I'm led to believe that the fault is with my setup of the wireless
card. If I hook the machine into one of the wireless router's rj45
jacks, the connection is just fine. The wireless card also
functioned without problems in a short-lived win98 install. So the
card works, and the router setup seems to be good. That leaves the
card setup within FreeBSD.
I am at a loss as to what to try next. I've tried DHCP, I've tried
setting up a network interface via sysinstall after bringing up the
ath0 whoozit with ifconfig (apparently the card is not detected at
startup?)...
What am I missing?
Any suggestions? Relevant documentation you can direct me to?
Direct solutions? :)
