Back to FreeBSD 5.4, my wireless card just works, but not in FreeBSD 6.0. I use the following steps to try to use my wireless card: 1.change to root, then "kldload if_ath" after this, I can use "kldstat" to see this: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 9 0xc0400000 328db0 kernel 2 1 0xc0729000 bc40 kqemu.ko 3 16 0xc0735000 5683c acpi.ko 6 1 0xc296a000 e000 if_ath.ko 7 1 0xc2978000 3000 ath_rate.ko 8 1 0xc297b000 24000 ath_hal.ko and use "ifconfig" to see this: bge0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 options=1a inet 166.111.208.143 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 166.111.209.255 ether 00:0d:9d:90:e0:68 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ath0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether 00:11:85:1b:21:79 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS 2.I use DHCP to get my IP address. "dhclient ath0" the response is this: DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPREQUEST on ath0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 166.111.208.1 bound to 166.111.208.137 -- renewal in 3600 seconds. and use "ifconfig" can see: ath0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 166.111.208.137 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast 166.111.209.255 ether 00:11:85:1b:21:79 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps) status: associated ssid A314b channel 11 bssid 00:09:5b:d1:fa:c4 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 30 protmode CTS bintval 100 it seems that the wireless NIC should be working now, right? but when i try to ping some IP which definitely should be connected from the IP address I have got, like : ping 166.111.8.28 (this is the DNS server) the result is this: PING 166.111.8.28 (166.111.8.28): 56 data bytes ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ping: send to: No route to host ^C --- 166.111.8.28 ping statistics --- 17 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss it means I cannot connect to the internet even when I have got the wireless card an IP address using DHCP. WHY? can anybody help on this? any suggestion would be much appreciated. -- Best Regards. Yuan Jue
