Hi List,

I can't get my WLAN (WPA) to work and I am somewhat at a loss, as to what
else to try...


The /etc/rc.conf portion looks like this:

ifconfig_wi0="WPA DHCP"


My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf looks like this:

network={
  ssid="my_ssid"
  psk="my_psk"
}

The above should be fine in terms of how it is set up.


Invoking ifconfig on the interface tells me that it is connected, however,
there's still no internet connection.

# ifconfig wi0
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
   ether 00:02:2d:0f:4f:99
   inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
   media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/2Mbps)
   status: associated

   stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
   authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey UNDEF bmiss 7
   scanvalid 60 roaming MANUAL


My OS is FreeBSD 7.0.


Any support is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
