I have 2 wireless cards, Linksys WPC55AG (atheros) and D-Link DWL-650 rev.M(Realtek 8180). Both cards work fine, I can connect to my home network under FreeBSD, Arch Linux and Gentoo Linux with both cards. Atheros natively under FreeBSD and Realtek using ndis because FreeBSD doesn't have native drivers for the realtek.
I have asked in the IRC channel, and read man pages, tried many things which seem to work for others, to no avail. Normally I just use dhcp. Example using ath0: ifconfig ath0 nwid linksys_SES dhclient ath0 The above works fine under FreeBSD, I can't figure out why it doesn't work here. I have also tried specifying static IP on the cards, which also doesn't connect, trying to ping my wireless router, set as the default gateway (192.168.1.1) just returns Host is down. Any new suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Some of the pages I have found which haven't helped my problem: http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive2/misc/200504/msg00226.html http://www.monkey.org/openbsd/archive2/misc/200503/msg00439.html Thanks
