I am having this same issue I believe in FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. I have a
dwl-g650 "na.b5", h/w ver ":b5", f/w ver :2.54. I compiled the
following into my kernel:
device wlan # 802.11 support
device ath # Atheros
device ath_hal # Ath_hal
device ath_rate_onoe
device wlan
device wlan_wep # WEP support
I type in:
# ifconfig ath0 channel 7 ssid gibsons wepmode on
# ifconfig ath0 weptxkey *****etc.
# ifconfig ath0 up
# ifconfig ath0
ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::213:46ff:fe0f:3f66%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
ether 00:13:46:0f:3f:66
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid gibsons channel 7 bssid 00:0c:41:a0:2c:46
authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpowmax 38 protmode CTS
bintval 100
# ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.107.15
# ping 192.168.107.1
I am unable to ping my router. (linksys bewfs42)
It seems like i'm missing something really simple here...anyone able to
help point me in the right direction? Thanks.
