Hi I have(?) an internet connetction issue... I have a router connected to a windows box downstaires (Lynksis wAG354G) and i use a wirelless usb adapter (Lynksis WUSB54G). It works fine under windows and even if some times the signal is lost usually it comes back by either moving the antenna a little or by restarting the network configuration tool. In FreeBSD the adapter is visible and uses ural0 driver. So if give the command ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.1.65 netmask 255.255.255.0 but i cannot connect to the internet or "see" the windows box. Now comes the strange part. if i press ifconfig ural0 i get:
ural0: flags=108843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe81:881a%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:12:17:81:88:1a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps) status: associated ssid linksys channel 11 bssid 00:14:bf:cb:71:32 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 but still i cannot connect to web pages or ping hosts. I use KDE 3.5 and i do the following: from the Kmenu ->settings->internet and Network-> Network settings and on the card Network interfaces i see that there is only onde availiable interface fxp0 dhcp Disabled Ethernet Network Device. I know that this is my ethernet onboard card but if i choose Enable Interface i can connect to the internet!!!!!! I assume that something runs in the background that enables as well my wireless card but what is this? So what's the problem you may ask... the problem is that in case that my connection is lost i cannot do anything to get it back up. i have tried dhclient ural0 and nothing happents same with ifconfig ural0 up... I have to reboot and do the procudure again and the problem is that it fails often if i leave the net for a while... Any ideas? thanks ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
