It is a Linksys WPC55ag card. I also have an old Netgear wi card that works shown at the bottom. ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413) ... ath0: mem 0xf4010000-0xf401ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:12:17:6e:fc:18 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 laptop# ifconfig ath0 ssid "test001" wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey "xxxx" laptop# ifconfig ath0 up Tue Aug 2 17:27:19 RTM_IFINFO: if# 3, link: down, flags: Tue Aug 2 17:27:25 RTM_IEEE80211: scan complete Tue Aug 2 17:27:25 RTM_IEEE80211: associate with 00:0d:93:e9:cf:d4 Tue Aug 2 17:27:25 RTM_IFINFO: if# 3, link: up, flags: Tue Aug 2 17:27:25 RTM_IEEE80211: disassociate Tue Aug 2 17:27:25 RTM_IFINFO: if# 3, link: down, flags: The disassociate message concerns me, but it should work... ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe6e:fc18%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:12:17:6e:fc:18 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps) status: no carrier ssid test001 channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 46 protmode CTS roaming DEVICE bintval 100 At this point, the card is no longer scanning and the lights on the card continue blinking as if it is associated (slowly in sync, as opposed to alternately blinking like mad when it is scanning) yet status shows no carrier. dhclient will not work when the interface is in this state.

This seems to force wpa_supplicant to start scanning again, so I can't currently use wpa_supplicant on this network. Actually, wpa_supplicant doesn't ever seem to be able to associate on the wi card, but static configuration works. wpa_supplicant on the ath card seems to associate, then catches the disassociate and starts scanning again. lather, rinse, repeat... wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::230:abff:fe07:e47b%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:30:ab:07:e4:7b media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid test001 channel 1 bssid 00:0d:93:e9:cf:d4 stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" authmode OPEN privacy MIXED deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100 bintval 100 dhclient does work here, and then I can start the vpn and roam about the office... thanks, robert.
