Hi Daemons, I have some troubles to get connected to an open Wifi-Net. Its an older IBM Stinkpad 600 and I bought a new PCMCIA-card for it. Chipset of the card is from Atheros, this is recommended by the FreeBSD Handbook. I boot the Laptop, the drivers seem to be compiled in the generic Kernel. Booting shows something like: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0xff9f0000-0xff9fffff irq 17 at device 2.0 on pci2 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:11:95:d5:43:62 ath0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 Good. Then I try: # ifconfig ath0 up scan # (I tried this in a cool caf=C3=A9, with cool people there and a cool open access point..) =20 Nothing. There should be a list of the available access points.=20 Is that right? Something I missed with the setup? I tried: #kldload wlan_wep.ko #kldload wlan_ccmp.ko #kldload wlan_tkip.ko ..and BSD 7.2, a very recent version, tells me that these files already exi= st (so the kernel took already care of it). What am I doing wrong?? All ideas appreciated!
