This is NOT a wireless question. I am running FreeBSD 8.3-p1. I want to connect to Clear Wireless Internet. I know I cannot do this with a Clear dongle, because Clear uses WiMax which is not supported. Instead I have a Clear hub modem. I want to connect by ethernet to it by wire. I get this from ifconfig: re0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC> ether 40:61:86:e9:96:0e media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active But I don't have a clue what to do from here. The hub is supposed to have a web page at (imaginary address) 192.168.15.1, but I haven't been able to raise it. The handbook has only a couple of references to ethernet, neither of which seem to apply here, and seem to be from the point of view of setting up a hub server, but the hub is more or less a black box to me. If anyone has already done this, please explain -- slowly and loudly. Oh, yeah, Clear Customer Service is strictly for the entertainment of masochists. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
