Hello,
My FreeBSD laptop is unable to get IP address over DHCP but the same
network works fine on Windows, Ubuntu and Android so I believe the
problem lies in my FreeBSD configuration and not on the router/access
point. Problem occurs only for wireless interface.
FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 with Atheros interface. Wireless networking was
working fine on that system (the same config files) until I had to
replace my wireless router.
My rc.conf file:
wlans_ath0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
I'm using standard dhclient.conf file.
My wpa_supplicant.conf file:
network={
ssid="wifi"
scan_ssid=1
bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
priority=9
mode=0
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
auth_alg=OPEN
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
psk="xxxxx"
}
Now after reboot I'm geting wlan0 connection (status associated):
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11g
status: associated
ssid wifi channel 9 (2452 MHz 11g) bssid d8:5d:4c:ea:cb:ee

bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5
protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL
But for some reason it doesn't get the IP address!
And whrn I manually try to: dhclient wlan0
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 16
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Again, other systems doesn't seem to have any trouble with getting IP
from this DHCP server and wired interface (em0) works fine too.
Any ideas please?
