not really... i checked. many times. even for num loc. which doesn't
matter...
amnesiac is the name freebsd uses when no hostname is set.
in this Amnesiac is the release name i think...
man msk
many times.... msk should at least show in the dmesg somewhere....
now... the wireless card i put in. ralink technology. in the
office here there is a simple wifi router that is "protected" with
WPA password. if i get rid of the password and just use ifconfig
to get to the router everything works ok but putting the wpa on
again and using the supplicant things suck. ifconfig says the card
is associated. and it gets an ip but that's pretty much all that
happens. pings to a neighboring machine produce huge dropouts.
with 85% packet loss. another awesomeness... and those are pings
to ips. dns is pretty much nowhere to be found. sysisntall has
<unknown network interface type> for ral0...
This has always worked well for me:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
that's where i got the wpa configuration from. also from man
wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant.conf.
my conf looks like:
network={
ssid="home"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="very secret passphrase"
}
wpa_supplicant with -ddd show more and more of the same with nothing
that helps me identify anything as a problem. just loops through the
same sequence of information which doesn't mean much to me.
on this one:
wpa_supplicant -K -i ral0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
i just get:
Trying to associate with MA:CA:DD:RE:SS (ssid="home" freq=2432 mhz)
Associated with MA:CA:DD:RE:SS
CTRL-EVENT-DESCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys
and again and again and again... i'm typing this....
i get the idea. disconnected. why?
