Did you rebuild your kernel with the correct driver installed. I have glanced over the site but didnt actually see a note about adding the wi driver (or any other driver), but I didnt look all that well. Is this a PCMCIA card? If so, what does "pccardc dumpcis" say? > Now when I boot the machine I get the following in dmesg: > > ugen0: Compaq Computers Compaq WLAN MultiPort W200, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2 > and if config looks like this: > > fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet 205.159.77.8 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 205.159.77.255 > ether 00:d0:59:c6:41:bf media: Ethernet autoselect > (10baseT/UTP) > status: active lp0: > flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> > mtu 1500 > faith0: flags=8003<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: > flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> > mtu 1500 > sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 > > So it's the faith0 device, right? No, faith0 is an IPv6-to-IPv4 TCP relay capturing interface. It doesnt appear to be seeing your card. Normally you would have a device like wi0 listed as well. > But when I run: > > brown2# wicontrol -f 7 > wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Device not configured The machine is not seeing the wireless network card. I dont even have that ethernet card, and I get the exact same message. > > So, what steps have I left out? Or am I confused? Slightly confused. Make sure your kernel configuration has a driver for the wireless ethernet card.
