I have installed FreeBSD succesfully on my Gateway M500 laptop. The only
problem I have is that my laptop connects to the internet through a
wireless router. My wireless card is working fine on the laptop and I
can succesfully ping the router, but when I load up a webbrowser I get a
"Cannot find webpage" error. So, it's confusing that the computer can
connect to the router but not through the router to the internet. The
output of ifconfig wi0 is:
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::202:2dff:feb3:a0e%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5

ether 00:02:2d:b3:0a:0e
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid 1475 1:1475
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
channel 6 automode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
Everything is setup fine with DHCP. Wep is disabled on my router right
now so the wepmode I think shouldn't matter. Any help at all will be
greatly appreciated.
