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? :) --G. Held -- End of line.
