Now I have the card working with WEP, I still don't quite understand how to get the card to start up on boot. I have in my /etc/rc.conf 'ifconfig_ath0="ssid WEBTENT DHCP"' and I have the necessary modules loaded: felipa# cat /boot/loader.conf wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" wlan_ccmp_load="YES" wlan_xauth_load="YES" wlan_acl_load="YES" Another thing is I tried the wpa_supplicant.conf method of starting the card, but it just hangs, I have to just hit Ctrl+C after a long wait: felipa# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf network={ ssid="WEBTENT" key_mgmt=NONE wep_key1=<MYKEY> wep_tx_keyidx=1 } felipa# wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf Trying to associate with 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 (SSID='WEBTENT' freq=2437 MHz) Associated with 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 ^CSignal 2 received - terminating ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 20, len 7]: Can't assign requested address If I use the following, all works great with WEP and it gets a DHCP address even though I specified a static IP, I assume this is because I have that specified in /etc/rc.conf: felipa# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid WEBTENT wepmode on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:<MYKEY> felipa# ifconfig -v ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe1f:9655%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 inet 192.168.1.52 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:80:c8:1f:96:55 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid WEBTENT channel 6 (2437) bssid 00:05:5d:89:c8:78 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 32 txpower 60 rtsthreshold 2346 fragthreshold 2346 -pureg protmode CTS -wme roaming AUTO bintval 100 Also, I assume my D-Link access point does not support WPA, so I am stuck with the weakness of WEP? Perhaps I'll try to setup my FreeBSD AP :) So, again, can someone point out how I get this to start on boot? Should I just add the command to the /etc/rc.local? -- Robert
