Dear Misc, I am pulling my hairs out, the last few days I've been trying to install OpenBSD on my Dell Latitude D510. I've disabled the internal wireless BCM card and instead put in a Netgear WPN511. -First I tried 4.1 release which meant I had to download the firmware to get it recognized but it kept saying "no network" so I went and downloaded a snapshot instead (dated 20070924). -Same thing: "no network". I have verified the card itself is working (in a redmond based O/S) but in OpenBSD it keeps saying "no network". WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?????
Here's some info: the actual router is a Netgear DG834PN. This is my WPN511 $ ifconfig -m ath0 ath0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:14:6c:f7:22:ef groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect status: no network ieee80211: nwid "" supported media: media autoselect media autoselect mediaopt ibss media autoselect mediaopt hostap media autoselect mediaopt monitor media autoselect mode 11b media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt ibss media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt hostap media autoselect mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS1 mode 11b media DS1 mode 11b mediaopt ibss media DS1 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS1 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS2 mode 11b media DS2 mode 11b mediaopt ibss media DS2 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS2 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS5 mode 11b media DS5 mode 11b mediaopt ibss media DS5 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS5 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS11 mode 11b media DS11 mode 11b mediaopt ibss media DS11 mode 11b mediaopt hostap media DS11 mode 11b mediaopt monitor media DS1 media DS1 mediaopt ibss media DS1 mediaopt hostap media DS1 mediaopt monitor media DS2 media DS2 mediaopt ibss media DS2 mediaopt hostap media DS2 mediaopt monitor media DS5 media DS5 mediaopt ibss media DS5 mediaopt hostap media DS5 mediaopt monitor media DS11 media DS11 mediaopt ibss media DS11 mediaopt hostap media DS11 mediaopt monitor interestingly it DOES pick up the nwid (mywifinet) when I do the following) $ sudo ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 $ ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:14:6c:f7:22:ef groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1 mode 11b) status: no network ieee80211: nwid mywifinet chan 11 bssid 00:14:6c:63:c5:70 71% inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::214:6cff:fef7:22ef%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 When putting in a WPN111 I get a uath0 and it works! $ sudo ifconfig uath0 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 $ ifconfig uath0 uath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:14:6c:52:88:63 groups: wlan media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (OFDM54 mode 11g) status: active ieee80211: nwid mywifinet chan 11 bssid 00:14:6c:63:c5:70 23dB 100dBm inet 192.168.0.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::214:6cff:fe52:8863%uath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.2-current (GENERIC) #408: Mon Sep 24 14:42:39 MDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 1.87 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,TM,SBF,EST,TM2 real mem = 1064738816 (1015MB) avail mem = 1021825024 (974MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 07/04/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xffe90, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf7910 (60 entries) bios0: vendor Dell Inc. version "A02" date 07/04/2005 bios0: Dell Inc.
