Hi, a little help on this would be great. OS is 6.0 Beta 5 "-STABLE". Updated ~12 hours ago. root@aklemm[ttyp5]{211} ~ uname -a FreeBSD aklemm.klemm.apsfilter.org 6.0-BETA5 FreeBSD 6.0-BETA5 #3: Tue Oct 4 06:55:14 CEST 2005 root@aklemm.klemm.apsfilter.org:/.amd_mnt/172.16.2.1/host/data/laptop/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AKLEMM i386 since yesterday I cannot get my WLAN (ndis) to work. I assume its because the weptxkey cannot be set anymore. 1-2 days ago the following command served me well in /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on weptxkey 2 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx channel 11 \ authmode shared ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx I splitted it up now into this order, like the arguments are described in the manpage: + ifconfig ndis0 down + ifconfig ndis0 up + ifconfig ndis0 authmode shared + ifconfig ndis0 bssid any + ifconfig ndis0 channel any + ifconfig ndis0 wepmode on + ifconfig ndis0 weptxkey 2 + ifconfig ndis0 wepkey 2:xxxxxxxxxxxxx ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ !!!!!!!!! + ifconfig ndis0 ssid xxxxxxxxxxxxxx + ifconfig ndis0 172.16.2.10/24 + unset -x console messages so far: ----------------------- ndis0: failed to get bssid ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::20b:7dff:fe15:605e%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 172.16.2.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.2.255 ether 00:0b:7d:15:60:5e media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/54Mbps) status: associated ssid "" channel 1 authmode SHARED privacy ON deftxkey 2 powersavemode CAM powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 100 protmode CTS root@aklemm[ttyp5]{207} ~/bin ifconfig ndis0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS xxxxxxxx 00:04:0e:1c:4c:90 1 54M 116:0 200 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 00:11:09:0c:17:e3 11 54M 166:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? WPA ??? Kernel is updated. Additionally I created a new kernel module using ndisgen and copied it manually to /boot/kernel to be sure, that all is well.
